The dismantling of Looking Into My Dreams, Awilda, that massive, eerily pale and elongated giant head in Millennium Park, continues apace.
A crew disassembled the traveling Jaume Plensa sculpture's head, face and nose Monday morning, and returned to its blocked off home near the corner of Michigan Avenue and Madison Street Tuesday to deconstruct the last of Awilda's chin and neck.
The 39-foot tall sculpture has received a mix of praise and concern from Chicagoans since it was installed in the summer of 2014, with many unsure what it was supposed to represent or how long it would be in Millennium Park. Three companion heads were already removed last year.
We haven't been able to confirm where she's heading next, but rumor has it she'll be on her way to Miami, just in time for this January freeze.
