Artist Interpretation:
The water cycle rejuvenates the earth. An explosion of life springs forth. From the life-giving water, a fountain of fish, plants, insects, birds and trees erupts. Ever watchful, human eyes protect this valuable resource.

Artist Interpretation:
The fountain is created by the core sample of limestone erupting from the earth, bringing with it a fossil history laid down over millions of years. The recycled limestone core is a metaphor for the cyclical nature of water and its power to transform the earth, lying down layer after layer of sediment. The terra cotta is a metaphor for the fragile gifts the earth provides. These two naturally-occurring materials, limestone and terra cotta, are being “recycled” into a utilitarian work of art. The circular design of the sculpture invites the viewer to explore the power of water through fossils and time.

Artist Interpretation:
The large stone represents the earth as the source of water. Water is a gift of the earth. It is our responsibility to pass this message on to future generations. The fountain is inscribed with the following words: “The rivers are our brothers and sisters. Teach your children to give the rivers the kindness they deserve.”
