Flights to the Seven Continents

Written by Mirek Struzik on 4. August 2026. Posted in Project.

Suspended overhead in Fresno Yosemite International Airport’s new terminal, Flights to the Seven Continents is an abstract composition built from the trajectories planes trace as they carry passengers around the globe. Mirrored spherical forms hang in dynamic arrangement, tracking flight paths rather than depicting them literally — the piece reads as pure movement frozen in metal.

The mirror-polished surfaces do the rest of the work: as travelers move beneath the sculpture, on foot or on the escalator, their reflections shift and multiply across the globes, briefly folding each passenger into the piece itself. It’s designed to catch people in the first moments of arrival — an unexpected, unforgettable welcome to the city.

The sculpture was designed and engineered by Mirek Struzik, with the full suspension structure prototyped and load-tested in his own studio before fabrication. The final piece was built at STRUZIK ART LTD and installed on-site by the client’s team under Mirek’s personal supervision — ensuring the same precision achieved in the studio was carried through to installation.
