So these people in Hong Kong who made a rubber duck that is a 16.5-meter (54 feet) inflatable sculpture. This guy named Hofman conceived the idea for the project in 2001. Twelve years on his own reaction to Rubber Duck is no longer simple. Though it may be modeled on a child’s toy, this massive public art installation isn’t just for kids.
“I see it as an adult thing. It makes you feel young again. It refers to your childhood when there was no stress or economic pressure, no worry about having to pay the rent,” said Hofman.
There were a lot of smiles and laughter as Rubber Duck made its splash but Hofman says he doesn’t expect everyone to react with big grins. He urged everyone who can to get out and enjoy the free public art. Next stop for Rubber Duck is the United States. The exact destination is a closely guarded secret.
I think this is kind of cool but it probably took a lot of money to make and nobody really wants to waste their money for a huge rubber duck.
