"Bubble Forest" is a public sculpture made of acid resistant stainless steel. The material has the property of reflecting both natural and artificial light. During the night, it is illuminated with programmable RGB LED lamps. It was created as a reflection on the ability of plants to produce oxygen. The title forest consists of 18 steel stems/trunks ending with crowns in the form of spherical constructions representing a single air bubble. “Bubble Forest” refers to the terrestrial flora as well as to that known from the bottom of lakes, seas and oceans.
Mirek Struzik is a sculptor and specializes in art in public space. He has successfully completed countless projects all around the world, from Dubai to Chicago. Most of his works are made from stainless steel and are illuminated with programmable RGB lamps. The most characteristic feature of his art is its ability to transform, when the sun sets. At dusk, when the lighting system engages, they completely transform their character and become even more attractive and eye-catching. One of the major topics Mirek presents with his art is transferring objects of nature from micro to macro scale.
