The piece consists of various pieces of rock and cement that's stacked to form a pattern. Some of the rock is curved while other are obs. There's also a fountain aspect to it. The water cause a fan like motion by the arch. The piece was emptied of water for the longest time, and was finally turned back on last week.
"Artist Salvatore Pecoraro, emeritus faculty member of Art, designed the 71-ton fountain in the Sunken Garden. The fountain is meant to remind the observer of a broken empire, and to demonstrate the aesthetic qualities of ruins. “Geometry is always an integral part of my paintings and sculptures, I always had a need to sum up the best parts of years of art making.” (
