“Dandelions” is an installation directly inspired by the sophisticated design of dandelions (Taraxacum officinale) occurring in nature. The concept of this work was preceded by a meticulous analysis of the structure of dandelion seedhead, which in a somewhat simplified form was then transposed to the macro scale. As a result, the delicate floral pattern took on a completely new — half futuristic, half fairy tale — context.
A Flock of Birds is a group of entities that symbolizes huge numbers of people visiting the shopping mall the sculpture is installed in every day.
“Bubble Trees” was created as a new iteration of the Bubble sculptures series and reflects values similar to those presented by the Bubble Forest: the ability of plants to produce oxygen.
Bubble Trees in their basic form consists of three main elements (the trees), however they can be multiplicated, there can be many more Bubble Trees installed in the client’s location.
When the sun sets, the dynamic illumination system (RGB LED lamps in light boxes installed in ground + the controller) lets the sculpture undergo a complete metamorphosis and shows its true colors. It’s a great feature in dynamic public places, where a lot of people walk.
The Roots of the World is a sculpture inspired by all sorts of ideas found in historical cultures all over the world. The artist shows that they all interconnect and entwine the World. Now, thanks to easy access to information and in times of globalization, we can see that almost all, historically diverse peoples share common stories and values.
The sculpture is interactive and lets the kids play in an environment built by an audio-visual show inspired by all five elements of nature – including us, the civilization, as the fifth, new one
Bubble Trees in the Clouds was created specifically for the Innovative Learning Classroom Building of the Texas A&M University. This composition consists of the Struzik’s signature Bubble Tree on a terrace surrounded by glass walls, and a large scale wall art installation basing on a solid aluminum film wallpaper and three-dimensional, foamed PCV grass blade details.
The two elements complement each other and provide a calming, close to nature feeling to the students and faculty members of the high-tech facility in Collage Station, TX. They merge form, light, and space into a dynamic, thought-provoking piece that resonates with students, faculty, and visitors. The accompanying mural further enriches the experience, creating a harmonious dialogue between sculpture and environment.
The stainless steel sculpture on the terrace is uplit with the dynamic RGB LED system that changes colors – it additionally enhances the mood on the terrace in the evening. The wall art is visible from the terrace too – when relaxing under the tall sculpture, the audience can surround themselves in the specifically created, relaxing environment inspired both by nature, and by technology.
The project was realized as a result of Mirek Struzik winning an international art competition organized by the Texas A&M university. The goal was to create a set of two art installations that correspond with each other.
Jellyfish Shrub elaborates on the themes such as processes and dependencies related with what lies at the heart of all life – plant growth and the role of oxygen in photosynthesis. The piece explores the interplay between biological science, art, and craft—profound yet intimately connected to everyday life—reflecting on our relationship with nature. It integrates themes of flora of the lands and seas, as well as the atmosphere we breathe. At sunset, the dynamic RGB lighting system transforms the sculpture in a stunning metamorphosis spectacle, making it a surreal addition to the green space beside retention pond.
Creating a site-specific sculpture for a scientific institution that focuses on agricultural biotechnology and integrating it with an interesting landscape with a scenic pond, modern architecture of the Academia buildings and research greenhouses.
Ultimately, the sculpture’s goal is to become a unique landmark that defines the space on the campus by being a focal point centered around scientific themes and utilizing biomimicry in its cutting-edge design.
The project was a cooperation between STRUZIK ART LTD and DADA IDEA Co., Ltd, and its first step was winning an international competition organized by Academia Sinica in Taiwan
