Bird of Paradise

Carrollwood Village Park – Tampa, Florida

Bird of Paradise anchors the southeast corner of Carrollwood Village Park as a vibrant focal point and symbol of renewal.

Serving as a tribute to wildlife and ecological balance, the sculpture celebrates the beauty and fragility of the natural world. Bird of Paradise stands as both a visual landmark and a reminder of our shared responsibility to sustain the life that surrounds us.
