Description: Elegant Pollinators: "Elegant Pollinators" is the title of my art piece. It shows a large White Peacock butterfly surrounding one of their favorite plants, the White petunia. The art piece is made out of a colander, bottle caps, wires, sticks, some old yarn I found in a play set I had when I was 10, plastic cups, hangers, electrical microchips, tiles, bubble wrap, dried playdough, springs, pipe cleaners, extra pieces found lying around. When I thought about the topic, I thought how their trying to use reusable energy sense that's what Florida is about. Florida is one of the top five states in the nation for clean energy growth with battery storage and solar power. Energy storage will do very well when we have another hurricane season because we'll have power to back it up. We're like butterflies because they impact Florida's ecosystem like how we impact the lives that are in it.
