ABOUT THE ARTWORK

It is comprised of a fountain sculpture featuring the salmon life cycle spiraling up the column. At the top of the column, a basin fills with water spouting from a salmon's mouth. Viewers can start the flow of the fountain using a hand pump nearby.

This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Everett School District.
