Description:  A site-specific artwork that is activated by water (sprinklers, rain) and by interaction with viewers (splashing, buckets, squirt guns). It consists of three six-foot diameter concrete disks, and ten two-foot diameter steppingstones. The three disks are painted with concrete sealer to show a pattern when the concrete is wet.   When the concrete is dry, the patterns change or disappear. Patterns represent the necessity of water to life.
