The original rendition of “Flower Force” was designed as a participatory eco-art project, however its current evolution expands on this by utilizing the traditional medium of sculpture, specifically ceramics, as a conceptual icon throughout the project’s dispersal. The ceramic flower, as it is dispersed throughout Florida similar to the wildflower seedlings, becomes an appropriation of the original wildflower. This appropriation works as both a conceptual representation of the ideals of “Flower Force,” as well as a literal one; the ceramic flower represents both the physical attributes of the wildflower as well as the temporal attributes. The permanence of a ceramic flower contrasts with the impermanence of the actual wildflower.
