"Lightning Field"

The "Lightning Field" is an art installation created by artist Walter De Maria in New Mexico. It consists of 400 stainless steel poles, each standing 20 feet tall, arranged in a grid over an area of land. The installation is designed to interact with natural phenomena, particularly lightning. When storms occur, the poles can attract lightning strikes, creating a striking visual and auditory experience. The work invites visitors to appreciate the beauty of nature, the passage of time, and the intersection of art and the environment. It serves as a unique reflection on nature's power and human creativity.
