To stand before Pneuma is to stand before an awesome display of life force. From the stamen, the anatomical origin of the life of the flower, burns a bright dancing vortex of fire leaping into the sky. The life pulses through the stem, lighting a glow of energy through the leaves. The fire of life burns through the flower and reminds us of the powerful energy that animates all life forces.

Pneuma is a 12’ tall active fire sculpture made of copper, brass, aluminum, steel, and stainless steel, depicting a flower resting on three large leaves. Flame effects include a rotating fiery stamen that creates a vortex effect 4-10 ft tall and hot blue flames running down each leaf spine. All of the effects are operator controlled from inside the barricades.
