Quality art print on a sheet of aluminum. The metal printing process gives more depth, sharper contrast, and deeper color saturation than traditional photo printing. Hanging hardware included on the back.

Sunflower Gold I © 2022 Cedar Lee
A lesser-known fact about sunflowers is that they are symbols of nuclear disarmament.
When the Soviet Union broke apart in 1991, the new nation of Ukraine held the third-largest arsenal of nuclear weapons. In 1996, Ukraine committed to total nuclear disarmament. To honor the occasion, representatives from the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia planted sunflowers in the locations where there had previously been nuclear missile silos.
But why did they plant sunflowers? Not only are the bright yellow flowers symbols of optimism, they also possess a special capability: they absorb radioactive isotopes from the environment. In fact, sunflowers have been planted at both the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear disaster sites because they help to remove radioactive toxins from the environment.
As long as help is still needed, 100% of the profit made from sales of this print will be donated to Refugees International to aid their efforts to help Ukrainian families. Refugees International has 4 stars on Charity Navigator.
