The sculpture depicts a portrait of a young child and an adult. Each holds a vessel, a metaphor for the ways in which our current decisions impact future conditions. We can choose whether the vessel overflows and is something to dread, or whether it is balanced and manageable. The portraits shift and intertwine depending on the angle from which they are viewed, representing the interdependency of younger and older generations in environmental stewardship. The final images will be selected through dialogue with community members. The arch echoes the shape of the massive water storage tanks that will be buried beneath Gatto park. It’s covered with flowering vines that reinforce the role of plants in holding and filtering water in healthy ecosystems.
