The MGM Casino Hotel opened on August 24, 2018. It is build on an area of Springfield that was devastated by the tornado that struck on June 1, 2011. In recognition of the resiliency of Springfield in recovering from the tornado the MGM Springfield Casino commissioned Mia Pearlman to create the sculpture that is placed at the entrance to the hotel just before the lobby.
Mia Perlman calls this work "The Flying Tidings Whirled". The 15' high by 12' wide sculpture is constructed from a series of powder coated aluminum plate and arranged to form a counter-clockwise swirling helix to give the impression of a tornado.
A nearby sign is inscribed:
