Bursting with the color and diversity of over 30 native Idaho wildflowers, "Gone Native" transforms this public restroom into a celebration of the state’s rich botanical heritage. Each flower appears only once across the four walls, forming a unique composition on every side. Labels in fused glass—color-coded by habitat—invite visitors to explore Idaho’s ecological regions while enjoying the beauty of the natural world. Designed to educate as it decorates, this mosaic offers a vibrant intersection of art, environment, and learning on the banks of the Boise River.
