“Not to get too political, but I feel like it is something that is greatly needed now,” says Raul de Nieves of the public art sculpture he will unveil during Miami Art Week in partnership with Bulgari and Art Production Fund. “We need a sense of uplift and a reminder that we should not lose this hope, as an adult especially. To allow yourself to be a child at the age of 35 and revisit these things—it becomes a part of who you are.”

Considering today's political circus, de Nieves’s artful way of flipping the narrative via a medium as joyful as a carousel is both ambitious and wondrously transcendent. When I Look in to Your Eyes I See the Sun is a fully functioning carousel (though intended for viewing only) that will be displayed at the Faena Hotel in Miami Beach from December 5 to 10. After that, it will travel around the world with Bulgari.
