I created this piece as a way to imbue life into a fountain and depict the way emotions are processed. The two water spouts represent eyes, and the water wheel and gears act as a way to portray the inner workings of the mind when experiencing difficult feelings. The sound of moving water also makes this piece auditory, as a way for viewers to calm their own sentiments when watching it. Unlike this fountain confined to the dimensions of a box, it’s more difficult to turn off real emotions with the flip of a switch.
