Samsonite(mare) – Traveling Light Is No Option

Samson by Brian Goggin - Sacramento International Airport - November 7, 2008

Towering Baggage Suport

After arriving at Sacramento International Airport on Friday night, I was greeted by one of two carts with luggage piled high, up to the roof at the airport’s baggage claim area.

These Luggages Won’t Be Going Anywhere

This 23-foot tall pillar sculpture, “SAMSON” was created by Brian Goggin in 1998, and was constructed of over 700 pieces of refurbished luggage of all shapes and sizes. Actually, it is one of two luggage pillars supporting the airport’s roof, if they were rolled away, the roof might come caving in. The sculpture was commissioned by the Sacramento Arts Commission.
