About the Water Sculpture:The title of this sculpture is "Wa" which means Harmony in Japanese. This kinetic sculpture reflects the harmony between the rippling flow of water and the gentle turning of wind spinners. Strongly influenced by the design awareness of Ikebana, the 500 year old technique of designing flower arrangements... but brought to life like story, a juxtaposition of metal and glass that forms Wa.
