This architecturally integrated artwork is an integral part of the landscape surrounding the WaterShed building. It seamlessly incorporates art into both the structure's exterior walls and its supporting pillars, blending form with function within the Education Center campus. The piece captures the intricate patterns left behind by water as it evaporates. The combination of organic lines and patterns etched into the surfaces are inspired by the tide lines formed in soil and sand. This concept invites visitors to reflect on the delicate balance between the presence and absence of water, evoking a deeper awareness of its significance in our environment.
