Brad Konick, Elements Transcending, 2001.

Working to evoke the ideas of rebirth and transformation, artist Brad Konick depicts an abstracted budding flower composed of steel and plate glass. The flower is comprised of five slightly concave rusted steel "petal" forms, each with a chrome-plated "seed" at its center. The petals are ordered around a central, laminated-glass "egg" form, encased in a protective chrome-plated steel cage that mirrors its egg-like form.
Dimensions: 54"h x 177"w x 108"d
