Fruits of Knowledge

An organic, abstract reimagining of a motif as old as literature itself: the tree of knowledge, reborn at monumental scale. A fantastical sculpture draws on a symbol woven through human imagination from ancient myth to science fiction, transposing the intricate forms of nature from the microscopic to the architectural through biomimicry. Fabricated from stainless steel, the work catches and scatters daylight through its wire-mesh fruits, alive with transparency and movement.
At dusk, a dynamic RGB LED system transforms the sculpture entirely — colors wash over steel surfaces, and what was familiar becomes fantastical, as if a page had turned and the world stepped into the story.

Dandelions stainless steel sculpture installation on Cagliari port boulevard, Sardinia

Dandelions – Cagliari

Four dandelions, rendered in stainless steel at monumental scale, now mark the redeveloped seafront boulevard in Cagliari’s port district. Dandelions began as a close structural study of Taraxacum officinale — the seed head’s radiating, almost architectural geometry — then translated that structure from the scale of a single flower to a public landmark several meters tall.

The result sits deliberately between two registers: futuristic in its material and precision, fairy-tale in its silhouette. Commissioned by the Autorità di Sistema Portuale del Mare di Sardegna, the four-piece installation anchors a prominent stretch of the newly redesigned coastal boulevard, giving the waterfront a recognizable identity point at the city’s edge.

Set against open sea and sky, the sculptures behave differently through the day — reflective and sculptural in daylight, animated by the shifting maritime light along the port.

Jellyfish Shrub

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

Bubble Trees

“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.

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.

Dandelions – Nice

Designed for Cap3000 “Bubble Forest” and “Dandelions” installations were created as a result of inspiration with delicate natural plant forms, and were executed in extremely hard and weather-resistant material — acid-resistant stainless steel.

Bubble Forest

“Bubble Forest” was created as a reflection on the ability of plants to produce oxygen. The title forest consists of 18 steel stems/trunks ending with inflorescences/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.
