This stainless steel sculpture on a concrete plinth is located on the west side of the Olathe Public Library. It is an interesting sculpture as it seems to expand or contract as one walks around it. The zig zag lines cut into the steel seem to make the sculpture almost light; those lines give the sculpture a sense of movement.
