Jacob Hashimoto, In the Hear of this Infinite Particle of Galactic Dust, 2019.

WILLIS TOWER’S WACKER LOBBY

In collaboration with CNL Projects, EQ Office commissioned renowned artist Jacob Hashimoto's site-specific installation, In the Heart of this Infinite Particle of Galactic Dust at the Willis Tower’s Wacker Lobby.

CNL worked very closely with artist Jacob Hashimoto and Rhona Hoffman Gallery to commission this breathtaking work of art.  The site-specific sculpture features 7,000, individual kite-like disks strategically positioned to create the effect of a cloud-like, faceted mass that reflects the warm, atmospheric tones of the Chicago sky.

The graphics are printed on rice paper embedded in resin to create a stained glass-like disc that allows light to permeate. Each disc is installed at varying heights, creating a sense that this beautiful cloud is undulating throughout the space. This dynamic artwork changes pending the time of day and vantage point, inspiring elements of discovery and surprise with each experience.
