La Vita é Una Fontana

Artist Salvatore Pecoraro, emeritus faculty member of Art, designed the 71-ton fountain in the Sunken Garden. The fountain is meant to remind the observer of a broken empire, and to demonstrate the aesthetic qualities of ruins. “Geometry is always an integral part of my paintings and sculptures, I always had a need to sum up the best parts of thousands of years of art making.”
