Employing salvaged cardboard to construct her water tower support structures, Dluzen draws parallels to the scavenging history of the forms. The individual sculptures are lined up and stacked on top of one another to create a skyline composed entirely of these formerly functional objects. In this way, Dluzen presents the supports and the city’s landscape in a new light, and restores a bit of this outmoded architecture's glory.
