Fountain of Youth

Commissioned by Bernard Fontannaz, the Fountain of Youth installation is a breathtaking embodiment of water's dynamic and life-giving properties. This exquisite piece is a testament to art's transformative power and the allure of nature's elemental forces.

The Fountain of Youth was crafted using brushed stainless steel and plexiglass, which imparts an elegant aesthetic and ensures durability. We used these materials to fashion an immersive visual experience that mirrors the constant currents and motion of the ocean, a beautiful and dramatic portrayal of water's ceaseless rhythm and flow.

We drew inspiration for this piece from the water's life-giving attributes and associations. The ocean is a symbol of life, fertility, and renewal. Emulating this, the Fountain of Youth aims to capture and reflect these essential qualities. The resulting installation is a dynamic and engaging visual symphony, encapsulating the fluid beauty of water in motion.

This project mirrors the André Stead Sculpture Institute's dedication to creating art that captivates the eye, stimulates the mind, and speaks to the soul. Fountain of Youth celebrates nature's vitality, symbolising the ocean's power to nourish, renew, and inspire.
