Tulips are some of the first flowers to bloom in the spring, even after the harshest of Winters. The 2020 COVID-19 pandemic shook the world, causing businesses, schools, and even government centers to shut down, causing many to lose their jobs and their lifestyles forever, though not all had suffered the same fate. After a long year, things began to slowly open again, and it seemed as if life was starting to get back on track, it seemed that the harsh winter was finally subsiding.
This is was the philosophy of Munster Indiana's Civic foundation when coming up with the idea of their next project: a public art display that involved the participation of the community. These 5ft tall tulip sculptures that I had the great honor to design and model were set up around the town of Munster IN, purchased by businesses and painted by other local artists, to be displayed for Munster Citizens and others alike to explore and admire as they Tip-Toe through town.
