Interesting geometric white concrete abstract located at the entrance to Chase Bank. It resembles a curvy water drop, with the middle missing. I like the smooth concrete appearance, and the shape of the sculpture, which is on top of a 3 foot tall foundation.
Tucson has a multitude of sculptures, and this one in front of the bank is a nice addition.
