The first installation in the Re:Generation series, showing precipitation as a metaphor for the human relationships within the building. Located at the entrance, this piece welcomes and invites each person as a drop of water, acknowledging the individuals that make up the ocean of the collective.
Re:Generation is a series of installations inspired by the water cycle and the flow of human movement through the ITC building. The individual is joined in the lobby by the larger currents of the collective, depicted by metal waves woven with cultural patterns that represent the demographics of WOU and the larger Monmouth community. As a person travels into the stairwells, the waves rise up into clouds, showing how we carry the cultural wealth of our past into the future realm of ideas and innovation.
