What is “Stem by Stem — Alien Boy Gives Me Flowers”?
These massive inflatable alien creatures are bursting with life: they’ve got massive, expressive eyes and intricate, colorful patterns inspired by traditional Japanese kimonos!

As visitors move through the installation, the artwork reacts—triggering bursts of color, soft pulsating synth notes, and ambient bird calls that transform the space into an immersive, sensory experience. The creatures hold armfuls of fresh flowers, reinforcing the theme of love, care, and connection—just in time for Valentine’s Day.
