The exhibition is called This Land Is Your Land and features three small water towers. By walking underneath the water towers, viewers will see [mirrors and neon lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabine-marcelis-1) that appear as ladders or text that looks as if it goes on forever. Navarro used water towers as a universal symbol of necessities that everyone needs to survive. Navarro explains, "these simple and timeless wooden structures containing water -- the most primitive and elemental resource, the essence of human sustenance -- reminds us of the basic condition that all humanity shares." If you want to get a first hand look, the exhibition will be on display until April 13th, 2014. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Water Tower Art Installations:** Creating art installations featuring water towers in public spaces. - **Mirror and Neon Light Displays:** Incorporating mirrors and neon lights in art to create infinite illusions and text displays. - **Use of Universal Symbols:** Using universally recognized symbols and objects in art to convey important messages. ### Where This Applies - **Art:** The art industry can incorporate the use of everyday objects to create thought-provoking installations. - **Tourism:** Integrating public art installations with tourist destinations can attract visitors and support local cultures. - **Architecture:** Incorporating unique and recognizable elements, such as water towers, in architectural designs can create iconic landmarks. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Reflective Urban Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minibean.md) - [Digital City-Inspired Art Works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grand-central-station.md) - [Gem-Like Sculptural Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cylindrical-lenses.md) - [Illuminated Curtained Light Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Concept-Driven Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ivan-toth-depea.md) - [Illuminating Park Installation Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waterfront-park.md) - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md)
