Audrya Flores, Play and Decay at the Confluence Ephemeral Installation

Using locally sourced flora, Artist Audrya Flores collaborated with workshop participants to create an organic assemblage depicting a giant flower-serpent. During late spring, when plant life is lush and temperatures are beginning to rise, this creature will playfully coil in full bloom on a hillside near the San Antonio River in Confluence Park. Over time, with the help of the elements and local fauna, the installation will decay, disassemble, and reintegrate itself back into the landscape of the park. This work celebrates cycles and the precious, fleeting nature of life.

On view through May 4-31 at the San Antonio River Mission Reach at Confluence Park.
