Evolves Luminous Flora by Jovi Schnell

Evolves the Luminous Flora is a large-scale piece of public art embedded directly into the pavement of Tutubi Plaza. Artist Jovi Schnell designed the work in 2011 to transform a formerly run-down stretch of Russ Street into a vibrant community space. The installation covers the asphalt with intricate, colorful patterns that bridge the gap between organic nature and industrial design. You are walking over a complex web of symbols meant to represent everything from the cosmos and botanical growth to human technology.
