Raffles Hospital lobby's take on 音無の滝 otonashi-no-taki (lit. soundless waterfall, name of a waterfall in Ohara, Kyoto) - e water flows gently down e rear wall, tracing out every groove in e tiles, before merging carefully into e pool below, taking care not to interrupt e thoughts of visitors contemplating e sculpture. which e silly cat was almost conned into thinking that it was made from titanium, before it saw e four (yellow, red, blue & green) spotlights above =P
interesting thing is, when viewed standing up & looking down, it seems as if light is slipping away with e water & ebbing into e darkness; but when viewed seated & looking upwards, e sculpture appears to be rising out of e depths of darkness up towards e warm glow of e light. water + reflection + unobtrusive music + sculpture + lighting + temperature + quiet make this a very calming place =)
