- 6. Confetti Tower . “Like the modernists, I believe in the simplici- ty and clarity of form, the idea of form following function, and further, form implying function, as well as the minimal and true use of material, detail and geometric forms... I practice the idea of com- munication through architecture by exploring new means of designing buildings and reintroducing color and symbolism. This architectural notion is represented in the form and materiality of my Confetti Tower.” Ania Jaworska

- 12. Cloud Gate .Second piece commissioned for an event .A question I have: I understand the material and color change, because it feels as though it works with the space in a way that the wood wouldn’t have worked indoors, but why the added negative space and smoothed arch? .Cardboard .MCA Detroit .2010 “I wanted to create a structure that would embody the welcoming representation of an entrance that establishes symbolic meaning and iconic form. I used a rain cloud as a basis for the design. The con- tinuous rain drops become long legs that give sup- port to the cloud form.” Ania Jaworska
