As you approach the sculpture you will notice the sound of trickling water, the varied textures on the granite stone, and a water basin that reflects the sky. As water drips from honed surfaces, the accumulating sound serves as a calming backdrop for life at the Living Village, and the pooled water at the base provides a captivating, ever-changing reflected image. Designed to bring people of all heights and abilities in contact with the precious gift of water, Confluence stimulates delight while reminding us that we have an intrinsic responsibility to care for our water.
This choreography of water on the surface symbolizes the vital, regenerative water cycle happening discreetly beneath the ground. Only steps away from Confluence, buried below grade, is one of the two 10,000-gallon rainwater cisterns on site. These massive cisterns collect rain runoff from the building’s rooftops. The stored rainwater is then treated without harmful chemicals and reused for toilet-flushing, resident laundry, and drip irrigation, and as the water source for Confluence.
