This interactive light installation was designed by Luz Interruptus for the Waterman Arts Center in London. The piece stimulates both visual and tactile senses, looking like a still image of a macro rain shower and inviting visitors to squeeze each drop.

The exhibit is meant to showcase [water and its vitality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-gallery), casting negative opinions on the privatization and selling of the natural resource. Condoms were used as a medium since they similarly are made to hold and preserve a source of life.

The condoms used were extra durable and filled with blue-dyed water to give it the eerie look. A small autonomous light was also put inside every rain drop to create a [luminous glowing effect](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miami-art-week) in the interactive light installation.
