"We live in a fractured world. I've always seen it as my role as an artist to attempt to make wholeness." -Anish Kapoor
In 2004, Kapoor constructed a 110 ton ellipse of fortified steel frames, covered in hand-rolled stainless steel plates. He titled this piece Cloud Gate and placed it on the AT&T plaza in Millenium park, Chicago. The giant bean reflects the height and sensation of the Chicago skyline--which is something I've been dying to witness in the flesh, ever since I can remember. I've never been to Chicago and I don't even know anyone who lives or has lived there. It's an intriguing city.. full of art and architecture..known for it's vibrant neighborhoods and the renowned Magnificant Mile. It's a city of heart and soul, creativity and innovation.
