Fountain – A large abstract granite sculpture consisting of a huge disc standing on its side on top of a truncated pyramid. Water comes out of the top of the disc and flows down the sides into a oval-shaped fountain basin. The sides of the disc are cut with striations which enhance the flow of water down the surface of the disc. The disc represents the sun and the striations cut into the sides represent clouds crossing the sun. The sculpture is made of a red granite from Pietra Santa, Italy. Sun strikes the disc in the morning, hence the title “Alba Rosa,” which is Italian for red morning.
