Spountain

An abstraction of a water jet, firing into the sky and curling back down. The mottled blue paint job gives off the appearance of a column of water, cresting and foaming as it gets higher. Tubular stainless steel accents act as interruptions in the water's skyward flow; one might even be considered its own jet.
