Description
Photograph of the Du Pen fountain at the Joel M. Pritchard Library Building on the Washington State Capitol campus. Du Pen's design for the fountain was rich in symbolism, evoking images of the Pacific Northwest's beauty. The piece features four sea gulls soaring above rippling waves, flanked by two leaping salmon. Behind the sea gulls, level with the waves, sits a small crab. These forms symbolize the vigor and strength of the state. The light, air, and water surrounding them represent Washington,s great natural resources and prosperous industries. Three water jets are positioned front and center in the fountain and spray water straight up into the air. Two more jets spurt water from supporting waves underneath the salmon. Photo digitally softened with Adobe Photoshop CS5.
