Mueller Austin News

The nature-focused artwork represents a single cactus pollen enlarged 30,000 times its size. The steel rings represent the pollen’s cells and its tall design allows park goers to walk or jog underneath the structure.

“In a way, we wanted to make ‘Pollen Grain’ a piece of natural education,” said Levack. “It’s similar to a roadside attraction in the fact that it’s the world’s biggest piece of pollen.”
