The main design element featured in
Rain River
is the Face Chain, a recurring motif in Solei’s work.
The Face Chain is a visual representation of the interconnectedness of our human identities, reminding us that we all use each other to create who we are. With Rain River, Solei has merged this message with the Esplanade’s natural harmony of earth, river, and sky.
Solei is inspired by the idea that the pumphouses represent the connection between the city and the river, balancing these entities as we do each other - individually, interpersonally, and as a community.
