Artist Marc Fornes has created a modern sculpture called Pillars of Dreams. It was installed at Woodard Square in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The cloud-like structure has a light structure, although it consists of 3564 parts. It seems as if it is filled with air, but in fact its volumes are securely fixed using ultra-thin aluminum plates. Like a bubble gum balloon about to burst, the plates thin out and become more open across the space of the spheres through which the sun’s rays penetrate.

The impressive design impresses with impressive volumes and gentle airiness. It is like a dream: the same scale, but weightless. The sculpture, permeated with light, inspires good thoughts, and walking under its vaults, it is pleasant to build bright plans.
