THE concept

dolphins.png

When imagining linked islands on a peninsula, wrapped by a river, it’s impossible to ignore the overwhelming presence of water.

 

Water is in everything. Water takes us places. Water hydrates. Water cleanses. 80% of the human body is water - which is to say: we are water.

 

Water is magical in its disappearing act from the gnome-flanked bird bath of a grandparent's house and emergence in a Frozen lake outside your train window.  

Water is the dreaded and uninvited beads of sticky humidity on arms on the hottest day of the year, then shape-shifting to rain on a best friend's wedding day.

 

Water sustains a midnight thirst, in the carafe by a bedside. Water is the clouds, deepening the emotion of the sunset.

Water drips from brows, to the eyes when a day has been earned. 

Water, in it's many forms, but specifically Droplet is a part of every life on earth - in its abundance or scarcity, but most of all:

in it's ability to express emotion for humans 

Water’s robe, the shiny and slippery tear droplet, is geronimo's inspiration that drives the core creative for the celebration and launch of the P5k elevated walkway.

THE Sculpture

GERONIMO sculpts an orchestra of Droplets, in a series of of triad tones. droplet sculpture are in nine custom sizes for the P5k walkway.

The droplets flow beyond the walkway and are placed in strategic places within London to excite the public, create curiosity and to bring people to the origin of the droplet.

 

Flowing further still, GERONIMO places the droplets in satellite cities around the world and connects the world of droplets.

 

GERONIMO excites the world.
