The Dreamers, Public sculpture in Sam Houston State University, Texas, US
The Dreamers is a monumental sculpture made of white dolomite that rises approximately 66 feet high and dominates the university grounds. The work depicts a girl's figure and stands out distinctly from the surrounding landscape through its bright coloring.
The sculpture was created in the 1990s as part of an initiative to promote public art installations in American communities. It resulted from collaboration among multiple arts organizations working to establish significant artworks in public spaces.
The sculpture depicts a young girl and blends realistic features with abstract forms that visitors can experience firsthand as they walk around it. The figure conveys themes of growth and potential through its visual presence on campus.
The work is accessible from various points across campus and can be viewed from outside at no cost. Digital guides and mobile apps offer additional information about the sculpture's construction and meaning.
The work incorporates specialized construction methods that allow rainwater to create subtle acoustic effects within its structure. These acoustic qualities are often overlooked by visitors, yet they transform the sculpture into a multisensory experience during rainfall.
