Molecules is a series of five interactive water molecules rising up from the Arizona Canal that come to life through the interactions of its users and the surrounding environment in Scottsdale, Arizona. The installation, created by The Urban Conga, is meant to showcase that, much like our communities, the water within the canal is created by a series of interpersonal connections between neighboring elements coming together around conflicting reactions.
