This sculpture is an expression of a simple water wave and takes its inspiration from the study of fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, and turbulence. In approaching the design of a sculpture for the University of Michigan, Maya Lin wanted to relate her interests in landscape to aerospace engineering. A specific image of a naturally occurring repetitive water wave became the foundation for the artwork, and makes a connection to flight while typing the sculpture to the context of its site. Water and fluidity create an endless motion within which visitors can enter and interact. The sculpture is viewable from both the classrooms above it and from the surrounding garden.

I really like this Maya Lin project creating an area of intreat in an otherwise bare green space. Also could be a great seating area in the summer for the use in urban parks and open spaces :)
