Flights to the Seven Continents suspended stainless steel sculpture, Fresno Yosemite International Airport

Flights to the Seven Continents

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.

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.

Dandelions – Dallas

“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.
