Essence
Year
2019
Description
Matthew Placzek wanted his sculpture, Essence, to incorporate the essence of hope, rejuvenation, and healing; The Club, 628 S Federal Highway, Boynton Beach, an assisted living facility, is the perfect setting for these themes.
Matthew considered the environment, colors, architecture, and the impact that Essence will have on the community. The hand-painted base spire gracefully twists, reaching 22 feet tall. Elegantly placed on the top are 3 colorful butterflies with hand-etched acrylic panels that brightly glisten in the sun.
Matthew's hope for this sculpture is to echo the sensation of peace, hope and positive thoughts that The Club at Boynton Beach has already instilled in the community.

Umbrella Palm
Year

Description
This public art installation created by design team David Dahlquist and Matt Niebuhr symbolizes the source of water for Boynton Beach - the Florida Aquifer. It allows visitors to experience drawing of water from a well while visually making a connection of where the water comes from.
A large metal pavilion serves as a gathering place and outdoor classroom. The pavilion represents how water naturally travels from the sky and filters into the ground sediment. Inside is a popular drinking fountain with a pet fountain, and bottle filling station which is heavily used by the public. The water source sounds represent how water enters our homes after it's collected and treated at the new utility facility.
Inside the pavilion, is a laser-cut and engraved haiku where rainwater enters that reads:
Water, you and I
Sky Falling Thru Sand and Stone
Are You Thirsty Yet
A backdrop to the pavilion is a mural consisting of five aluminum panels. Each 10-foot long and 3-foot high panel uses reflective vinyl designed with colorful graphic images that depict the sky, flowing water, and an aquifer blend.
By day, natural light reflects off the non-directionally polished stainless steel of the pavilion and the vinyl on the decorative wall. At night, strategically placed LED lights and spotlights illuminate the artwork. The project is also enhanced by complimentary landscaping, benches, and pathways.
