Completed for the opening of the new Helen Devos Children's Hospital, THE FUTURE PEOPLE designed and fabricated this large-scale water feature. The goal of the project was to create a work that was colorful and playful for the children at the hospital to enjoy, would contain content that the children could relate to, and also to involve children in actually creating the piece. For the content of the work THE FUTURE PEOPLE choose to show different ways that children playfully interact with water.  Once the commission was secured THE FUTURE PEOPLE collaborated with students from three local high schools with each student designing and building a ceramic vessel to fit inside the water feature. Once that was complete Cameron designed the placement of the ceramic vessels, constructed the glass cases, and had the water delivery system installed. Rachael focused on working with the students, designing and painting the three figures, and painting the background imagery. The water feature is on permanent display in the Helen Devos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI
