Fluid Movement
Four large bending steel structures jutting out of the ground.
The accompanying plaque next to the sculpture reads, "'Fluid Movement' captures the power and joy of human movement. Like the mirrored surface of a lake on a calm day, each element becomes like water itself, reflecting the sky and expanging the space around it in an ever-enchanting way. Situated in this rain garden (storm retention basin), Fluid Movement supports the ideas inherent to this sustainable feature. The sculptural arms also reference the nearby swimming pool which was a central feature of Old PE prior to remodling.""

Ascent by Suzanne Lee

The University is a nest, a safe place to discover, to question, to think for oneself, developing independence and finally soaring. The birds are a metaphor for personal growth and transformation. The individual elements are placed in the dynamic motion of flight to pull the eye upward, finally to the sky, suggesting endless possibility.""
