Well, not really.

The sculpture, Fallen Star, is part of the Stuart Art Collection at the University of California San Diego, and it's perched on the seventh floor of the school's engineering building. It was designed by Korean artist, Do Ho Suh.

Suh, who left his home in 1991 to study design in Rhode Island, said that when he arrived in America he felt "as if he was dropped from the sky." Fallen Star reflects on the artist's exploration of themes around the idea of home, cultural displacement, the perception of our surroundings, and how one constructs a memory of a space.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Scot. Yes, the campus has really grown over the years, and the integration of public art has added some very eye-catching elements.
