This amazing sculpture continually changes its appearance throughout the day
An astonishing sculpture that continually changes its appearance throughout the day will be unveiled in Poland on June 30.
The unusual sculpture, NAWA, was designed by Oskar Zięta of Zieta Prozessdesign as part of the celebrations for the 2016 European Capital of Culture, when the Polish city of Wroclaw was granted this honour. The installation was created so as to match the celebrations’ slogan of “metamorphoses of culture,” with its mirroring surfaces changing its appearance throughout the whole day.
NAWA has 35 steel arches that create some kind of getaway under which people can walk, with the arches also making references to nearby landmarks such as the Ossolineum, the church’s tower at Piasek, Wroclaw Market Hall, and Ostrów Tumski.

“NAWA opens another chapter in the history of the Daliowa Island, returning it to the dwellers of Wroclaw,” wrote Zieta Prozessdesign. “The space is currently being revitalized and very soon will serve the city, becoming a bustling, open space for meetings, concerts and artistic events. Sculpture along with planned vegetation will create a consistent organic unity, emerging naturally from the river. At the same time, the realization will fit perfectly into the architectural order of the area and its vibrant life, full of tourists and passers-by.”
The sculpture required almost 52 tonnes of steel and a million cubic meters of air, with 7,500 plants to be seeded as well on the Daliowa Island in Wroclaw, around the sculpture.
