This cherry blossom sculpture is located across the Potomac in Crystal City, Virginia.

Says the artist: “During the year 2020, I was trying to be more productive than ever before, but it was quite hard for me to get inspired or get ideas to create something due to all the devastation that the pandemic brings. The only inspiration I could get was from looking outside through my window. One day, I was up until the sun rose and was thinking this is the hope because no matter what happens, the sun will rise every day, nothing can stop the sun from rising. So are our hopes.”

This is the time of year for Washington’s wildly popular Cherry Blossom Festival, but unfortunately it has once again been canceled due to the pandemic. The public has been asked not to enjoy the blossoms at the Tidal Basin but instead to view “Art in Bloom,” 26 cherry blossom sculptures painted by local artists and placed in locations throughout DC and adjacent neighborhoods.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.
