Flowers in the Hospital
“To commemorate the closing of the Massachusetts Mental Health Center’s old building in 2003, the artist Anna Schuleit created “Bloom,” an art installation comprising 28,000 pots of flowers. After four days, the work was dismantled. All the flowers were donated to surrounding hospitals, state institutions, halfway houses and shelters, where they continued to bloom.”
