Considering Convalescence is an original acrylic painting created by Ava Bock for BLOOM, a permanent public mural commissioned by America Connects Nature. Installed on the exterior wall of 318 Baker Street in Minburn, Iowa, the mural was unveiled on June 18, 2025. Designated as Tile #1219, this work reflects on the fragile, non-linear process of healing—both individual and collective. Painted during a time of personal reckoning, the piece draws on natural forms and layered mark-making to explore how recovery often requires both quiet patience and deep introspection. Part of a larger community installation, Considering Convalescence contributes to a shared landscape of resilience and renewal, blooming outward from a place of quiet strength.
