Detail of Noah's Ark

Installation Art - exhibit by Plet Bolipata: "The idea of rain brings me back to the story of Noah and his Ark. Seeing the wickedness of man, God commanded Noah to build an ark, a large vessel that would contain himself, his family and animals of the world in order to save them from the Great Flood that would destroy as well as cleanse the world (Book of Genesis, Chapters 6-9). As a nation, we suffer yearly from deluge of floods as the rain pounds upon us. In the conclusion of Noah’s story when the floods subsided, and God’s anger abated, God promised Noah He would never send a flood again. I’d like my installation to be a reminder that we need not be afraid for God will keep us safe."
