Composition

Bubble Trees in the Clouds
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.
