Ruupaywa: Songs of the Watershed - This project features a large steel sculpture of a Golden Eagle that frames images and textures from Muwekma Ohlone culture and from the Alameda Creek Watershed, and a sound installation created from voices from the indigenous community. It is being created in conversation with the Muwekma Ohlone people.
Location: San Francisco International Airport, Terminal 2, San Francisco, California
The design goal for Terminal 2 was to bring back the joy and romance of travel within a hospitable environment. The inspiration for the architecture was “a bridge to the city,” evoking San Francisco’s micro climates, use of natural light, the diversity of Bay Area neighborhoods and the concept of the ceiling as a “sky” holding everything together. These architectural design concepts became the inspiration for the artwork as well. The local skies, as they are populated by native birds, was the inspiration for Walter Kitundu’s interactive artwork designed for one of the two children’s play areas adjacent to the gate rooms.
