Bloom #11 (2024)Mixed-media sculpture
by Olga Skorokhod

Bloom #11 is a minimalistic paper sculpture that transforms discarded materials into a striking visual composition. Crafted from paper pulp, the artwork is arranged in five rows of delicate circular forms, reminiscent of eggshells or flower petals, each made from leftover paper from previous projects. The circles are carefully shaped, dried, and painted with matte acrylics in vibrant colors, creating a vivid contrast with their textured surfaces and symbolizing the resilience and beauty of blooming flowers.

This piece explores themes of transformation and rebirth, celebrating the beauty that arises from sustainable practices. Elevated with foam stickers, the circles cast soft shadows, giving each "flower" a levitating effect. Mounted on a 12x12 inch wood panel, Bloom #11 is encased in a UV-grade acrylic box, offering both protection from fading and a sleek, modern aesthetic. The clean, contemporary framing makes this artwork a perfect addition to any interior.
