    Title supplied by Inventory cataloger.
    The sculpture was commissioned by the Portland Development Commission for $1,900, and was funded by the Percent for Art Program. Water sprayers located throughout the recessed circular area surrounding the sculpture suggest that this piece may have once been a fountain. The red paint may be a later addition to cover graffiti.
