Two blocks away, shed, an inversion of blacktail, invites you into its shelter, like a child playing in a fort in the forest. These sculptural forms imply an entire landscape, yet also convey an intimacy.

Mirror-polished stainless steel reflects the viewer within a dancing halo of radiating blue ripples, demonstrating the power of one raindrop when collected with another. What is an ocean but infinite drops of water?

Three more water droplets in the rain garden are frozen at the moment when they re-connect with the earth, creating mini shockwaves and initiating dancing ripples in the water. The journey to the sky and back again is complete, and they wait again to return to the sky.

I aim to convey nature’s beauty into the urban space to complement the featured rain gardens and showcase them for what they are- a more responsible way to coexist with the land.
