Looking Into My Dreams, Awilda
The sculpture in Chicago in 2015
ArtistJaume Plensa

Looking Into My Dreams, Awilda, or simply Awilda, is a 2012 sculpture by Jaume Plensa.

Description and history

[edit]

The 39-foot tall sculpture originally stood in the surf of Guanabara BayinRio de Janeiro, before being moved to Chicago's Millennium Park.[1] It stood in Millennium Park from June 2014 until January 2016.[2] As of March 2017, Awilda stands at the Pérez Art Museum Miami.[3] It is composed of resin and marble dust, with a metal support structure and an internal frame of fiberglass.[4]

Awilda is based on a real person, a Dominican girl who came to Spain with her mother, who Plensa knew in Barcelona. Plensa took her portrait with a laser scanner, capturing 3D information to manipulate and scale into larger models.[4]
