Bathroom Fixtures at Alcatraz Transformed into Porcelain Floral Bouquets

“The misconception of totalitarianism is that freedom can be imprisoned. This is not the case. When you constrain freedom, freedom will take flight and land on a windowsill.” - Ai Weiwei
Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei currently has an exhibition on Alcatraz, the notorious island used as a military fortress and federal penitentiary. Ceramic flowers bloom out of sinks, toilets and tubs that were once used by hospitalized prisoners.




Ai Weiwei’s exhibition on Alcatraz will be open through April 26, 2015.
