Floating Dogwood is a captivating mural located at 1102 Chestnut Street in the Center City neighborhood of Philadelphia. Created by artists Michele Tremblay and Polly Apfelbaum, the mural was inspired by Tremblay's personal experience battling cancer in the oncology ward. Unable to have flowers in the ward, the artists aimed to bring beauty to the patients through this vibrant artwork, which features hidden ladybugs for long-term patients to discover and engage with daily.
Funded by Christina Morin Graham, a friend and art enthusiast, Floating Dogwood is a community effort that serves as a heartfelt tribute to the healthcare professionals who cared for Tremblay and a source of inspiration for other patients enduring treatment. This mural stands as a testament to the power of art in transforming spaces and uplifting spirits.
