As part of the London Design Festival, an unusual installation by Paul Cocksedge has been installed on the streets of the UK capital. It is made in the form of a huge coin, supposedly dropped from the palm of a giant. It was installed, of course, not just like that, but for charity! Well, for creativity!
Moreover, in this case, absolutely any person who finds himself next to this unusual installation can engage in creativity. It is designed for this - to attract people, to initiate a creative streak in them.
The Giant Drop coin is made of a material that has its own magnetic field. And it is just the basis for the installation, the basis for the further creativity of people, because, according to Paul Coxage's idea, every passer-by can attach his own coin to this base. And, moreover, each of the many coins can create its own drawing, inscription and other message to Humanity.
From time to time, when there are too many coins on the giant Drop coin, they are removed, making room for new donations.
But it is not these coins, attached by random passers-by, that are the financial basis of a charity project, part of which is Paul Coxedge's installation called Drop. The partners at the Barnardo's charity fund, for which the money is being raised, will turn every penny attached to this giant coin into a whole pound sterling.

Rush of Ideas - Installation by Paul Cocksedge
It is not yet clear to scientists or philosophers where ideas come from in the human head. But the sculptor Paul Coxage believes that this process is similar to the occasional blowing of the wind. This he illustrates with his installation entitled "A Gust of Wind", created for the London Design Festival (London Design Festival 2010)

To say that photographers love to shoot water is to say nothing. Here and there photographs of droplets, rain, even tap water flash!
