It’s the contrast that makes this piece so intriguing. Pristine white, ceramic flowers set within the context of hospital bathrooms of Alcatraz, the former high-security federal prison located off the coast of San Francisco. The piece ‘Blossom’ is part of a larger installation by well-known Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei.
The work is on display in the historic prison through April 26, 2015, with seven site-specific installations addressing issues of imprisonment and freedom. These themes are paramount to the artist’s vocabulary following an 81-day detainment by Chinese authorities. The works were installed remotely at the artist’s direction because he is not permitted to travel outside of China.
