My proposal addresses the fountain outside of the Miracosta library as it seems too unadorned even though it is meant to add beauty to the campus and thus if more architecture was added to enhance the fountain, something truly exquisite could be created. Therefore I used a statue of European origin to transform the fountain into an attractive masterpiece. This will make the campus a better place as it will not only add culture but it will offer students a chance to see real handiwork in the form of an ancient sculpture featuring handiwork that has survived throughout the ages. Not only is this art piece inspirational but it is also very aesthetically pleasing and adds a lot of beauty to the campus by transforming the fountain into a viable work of art. The sculpture will have water flowing freely from the top as well as smaller streams of water around it. The sculpture is representative of the struggle of everyday life and will help motivate everyone to keep striving for the very best. When fully designed this sculpture can renovate not only the fountain but the areas surrounding it and make it one of the most artistic places on campus.

Kiki Smith(‘Standing’) and Tim Hawkinson (‘Bear) from the Stuart collection were the source of inspiration for this project as they both designed structures to turn a desolate area into an architectural, and artistic marvel. Both of their sculptures are representative of a greater phenomenon such as the body being a “fluid vehicle for intimating life.”
