TOGETHER AS ONE
By Thomas Sterner
A tridimensional stainless steel school of over 130 fish, each ranging 6-16 inches in length and rotating freely on its own axis, Together As One is shaped as a large 12-foot long fish colored with iridescent gradient finishes, swimming and bobbing upstream while creating undulating waves in the wind.
Together As One will be displayed in 2022 for the first time.

ORBITAL DANCE
By Erin Aylor
Reminiscent of Old Frederick Maypole dancers performing in unison to recognize the changing seasons and cycles of life, Orbital Dance represents water dancers circling in unison to celebrate spring and new beginnings under an orbiting solar system. The five 24-inch tall dancers are created from various metals in a variety of colors and textures to express inclusivity and acceptance of all people. The kinetic sculpture spans 8 feet in height and 6 feet in width.
Orbital Dance is displayed in 2021 for the first time.

ROTARY LOTUS
Designed by Rotarian Bernard Gouin, illustrated by Charles-Etienne Gouin, and fabricated under the leadership of Rotarian Doug Fauth
Designed to induce peace, serenity, and a contemplative state, Rotary Lotus is a four-level counter-revolving kinetic sculpture expressing our internal movements in a holistic perspective. It is made of aluminum petals with welded wind-catching cavities and is crowned at the top by a ring of aluminum wind-catching pistils. The artwork is powder-coat painted, spans 6 feet in height, 9 feet in width, and reaches 8 feet above water.
Rotary Lotus is displayed in 2021 for the first time.

WATER LILY WITH DRAGON FLY
By Thomas Sterner
Designed to express beauty and simplicity, Water Lily with Dragon Fly is a shiny light-reflecting sanded stainless steel floral kinetic sculpture with wind-catching petals and integrated solar powered lights. Using a planishing hammer technique, the artisan created strong concave petals and also heated the stainless steel at selected areas to add yellow and blueish hues. The sculpture has two aligned and smooth-turning interior trust bearings, spans 8 feet in width, and reaches 8 feet above water.
Water Lily with Dragon Fly is displayed in 2021 for the first time.

MURMURATION
By Marguerite de Messières and Tsvetomir Naydenov

Honoring the weight of loneness, the beauty and power of community, and the bright tenacity of hope, Murmuration was designed to be reflective and emotional. It is made of a weather-sealed mild steel structure with thousands of small colored aluminum tiles strung on a swirling grid steel wire and using high quality bearings. The kinetic sculpture spins, flips, and twists smoothly in the breeze over the surface of the water, shimmering and flickering in a silvery etheral cloud. The artwork spans 12 feet in width and reaches 10 feet above water.

Murmuration is displayed in 2021 for the first time.
