Renewal Transformation: A Public Art Installation in Boston’s Chinatown
Renewal Transformation is my new public art installation at Elliot Norton Park in Boston’s Chinatown, created in collaboration with Mike Hurley for the Tzu Chi Foundation.
The artwork features a sculptural pink lotus flower emerging from repurposed materials, set against a series of intricately painted panels. Inspired by Tzu Chi’s commitment to sustainability, compassion, and renewal, I wanted to explore the transformative potential of art and how discarded materials can be reimagined and given new meaning.
I’m incredibly grateful to Mike Hurley for his collaboration and to Latika and the entire Tzu Chi team for their trust, encouragement, and support in bringing this public art commission to life.
Opening Reception — Saturday, October 24, 2026
Please join us at Elliot Norton Park in Boston’s Chinatown from 11 AM–1 PM to celebrate the installation.
You can also follow the project and connect with the organizations involved through Tzu Chi USA, Tzu Chi Boston, and the Tzu Chi Foundation.
