Azalea

At the northern gateway to Takoma Park, Azalea takes the form of a bouquet of six different blossoms representing the city’s six unique wards. A map of Takoma Park is outlined by the negative space between the flowers, with stainless steel lines defining the wards. A silver arrow shape at eye level points to the viewer’s location in relation to the city. Takoma Park’s history in the early twentieth century as a summer destination for citizens of Washington, D.C. is symbolized by railroad rails used to construct the stems.
