Kinetic Rain symbolises the coming together of the thousands in the airport community to provide a positively surprising Changi Experience for passengers and visitors. It is the biggest and most complex kinetic sculpture of its kind in the world, located for the first time ever at Changi Airport.
This sculpture can form 16 different shapes ranging from abstract art forms to recognisable patterns including an aeroplane, a hot air balloon, a kite and even a dragon. The design element in each shape shows the movement of flight through slow, fluid movements.
