If a constant stream of political emails, text messages and flyers don’t convince you to vote, perhaps these 20-foot tall flamingos will do the trick.
The work of designer Matthew Mazzotta, these three oversized flamingos are in the process of casting their ballots, and stand outside the Palm Beach County Elections building in Florida.
More than just encouraging people to vote, the installation also highlights the natural world, which desperately needs our attention during this ongoing climate crisis. Indeed, the artist is asking “what if nature itself could vote?”
Flamingos are such a known symbol in this part of the world, and highlighting them could help people realize the stakes of this election.
Known for an even larger flamingo sculpture in Tampa’s international airport, Mazzotta has a highly tuned eye to sculptural installations that catch your gaze, and your attention. See more of his impactful work on his website.
