this installation is the third in a series of similar installations created; the second one was featured in front of the european parliament in brussels from 8 september 2011 during the polish presidency of the european union. the warsaw tęcza was based on the brussels one, which was moved to warsaw on 8 june 2012. for this project, wójcik received the paszport polityki award. the installation was supposed to evoke positive feelings related to the rainbow, such as love, peace and hope, and was intended to be a universal, apolitical symbol. however, far-right nationalist and catholic groups identified it with the rainbow flag, a symbol of the lgbt movement.
