Bloom Baby Bloom

BLOOM BABY BLOOM Florida-based artist Brit Deslonde’s inspiration was heavily influenced by the textures, forms and flows that she holds dear when thinking about her diving experiences. She wanted to create a piece that felt positive, and reflected the hope that artificial reefs and reef restoration bring, while still providing a welcoming home to fish and flora that may find their home in her artwork. The “off balance'” yet elevated structure to her sculpture signifies strength where we can find it, (albeit from where we don’t expect it at times ) and the uplifting nature of those who put forth the effort to find that strength, especially for causes that may not give personal gain such as this.
