This court yard where this fountain and sculpture sits is an oasis in this area of tall buildings. An interesting mix of positions for each figure except the mother and child.
Information from the SIRIS website is as follows;
Description:
Thirteen nude figures grouped together in various poses in a fountain. Three figures carry a woman balances a small child on her proper right hip. One woman lies on her proper left side with her abdomen cut; while another figure dives or tumbles with his feet protruding from a wall. Another woman stands holding a baby. A platform wall with engraved figures is behind her.
