The Drop
Inges Idee
VancouVer conVentIon centre
in a city surrounded by ocean and
known for rainfall, one drop of water
stands out. And it’s easy to see why.
This public art piece by Berlin-based
collective inges idee stands 20 m
(65 ft) tall, and is decked out in
stunning cobalt blue. The moment of
contact between land and raindrop
is documented in its angled descent,
while the colour itself complements
both the sea and sometimes (okay,
often) grey sky. elegant yet formi-
dable, the artwork isn’t just a tip of
the hat to Vancouver’s wet weather,
but to the power of nature, too. This
is one raindrop you won’t mind on
your camera.
