Healthcare Journal of Baton Rouge I  MAY / JUN 2019 59 For weekly eNews updates and to read the journal online, visit HealthcareJournalBR.com “Designed specifically for the space, this sculp- tural installation represents Woman’s Hospital as a place of nurturing and healing, and will hopefully welcome visitors with a vision of nature that not only lifts the eye, but also lifts the spirit.” The display uses a thin durable material that is delicately woven by a 3-D printer to create the unique shape and details of each bird. Multiple white, life-sized egrets soar with seven foot wing- spans above the main lobby, while a flock of 48 smaller birds are suspended in front of the large windows on separate frames. The flock is coated with opalescent colors of green, blue, yellow, pur- ple, and pink to reflect the natural light from the curtain wall at the entrance of the hospital.  This installation serves as the cornerstone for the Woman’s Hospital Artwork program. In con- junction with the fine art pieces, the installation highlights themes of weightlessness, flight, and soaring. These feelings and ideas are all posi- tive associations that aim to build a comforting environment that supports families, women, and children.
