Rain Column

The Rain Column at Southern Connecticut State University is located on the Side of Engleman Hall. The person who designed this column is Mikyoung Kim. This artwork is very interesting to me because it is a very unique piece of work. I have never seen anything like it. The column is made out of stainless steel so it is very unlikely for it to ever get ruined. What I most like about it is that it reminds me of ocean waves. Since I love going to the beach it allowed me to always think about the memories I have from summer when walking past it. Most people I know never really knew what exactly it was or what it meant. I believe that this is supposed to represent how rain travels. Depending on the weather you never know how hard it is going to rain. The rain column captures water and causes a different appearance. I enjoy looking at this piece of work because it reminds me of different things relating to the ocean. It kind of looks like some sort of sea creature, artwork like this allows it to have more of a meaning. Next time it rains outside try and look at the column!
