Strawberry Flag by Lauren Bon and the Metabolic Studio is a revisionist vision of the American flag as a self sustaining system. Raised at the West Los Angeles VA Hospital in July 2009, Strawberry Flag is an artwork in the form of a veterans' program that nurtures reclaimed strawberry plants with an experimental aquaponic system using salvaged water and fish.

Metabolic Studio
Derived from the Greek word for change, "metabolism" is the process that maintains life. In continuous cycles of creation and destruction, metabolism transforms nutrients into energy and matter. Working to sustain these cycles, the Metabolic Studio transforms resources into energy, actions, and objects that nurture life. Led by artist and philanthropist Lauren Bon, it is her studio for practice at the intersection of art and philanthropy.
