Saturday, March 18th at 2pm join us in celebration of welcoming Jaume Plensa’s gigantic sculpture Looking Into My Dreams, Awilda to its new home in Museum Park, Pérez Art Museum Miami will host a talk by the world renowned artist. Monumentalizing everyday individuals, as well as youth and femininity, Awilda presents the artist’s large-scale portrait of a young girl from his native Barcelona.

The piece was initially shown in Rio de Janeiro by the sea, where it took on additional references, particularly Plensa’s interest in the Yoruba female deity of the sea, Lemanjá. The piece then traveled to Millennium Park in Chicago, where it became a popular icon for the city. Awilda’s new home in Miami returns her to a seaside location, as her serene face, with closed eyes, is positioned in front of the Port of Miami.
