Smithsonian list description: 'A fountain and sculpture consisting of a pool with an underwater steel ring that emits a cone-shaped spray. Pool is constructed of concrete with a brick cap and is flush with concrete pavement scored in a radial pattern. Directly to the north of the pool is a concrete wall that reflects the shape of the pool. On top of the wall is a painted steel sculpture in the shape of a circle, again repeating the pool shape. It is held in place with steel supports that are aligned with reveals in the concrete wall face. The fountain and sculpture rest about three feet below an adjacent street sidewalk and are surrounded by a river wall, bank building and street."

"The fountain and sculpture are flanked by buildings and the river wall and is a part of the East Bank River Promenade that was constructed in 1985. When construction of the South Promenade began, the pre-existing fountain was restored, the surrounding area was redesigned and a sculptural element was added.
...
In 2011 a group (Emily, Sam and Susan Jablon, Kari Bayait, Anthony Santucci, and Chris Long) came together to bring the Promenade new life by incorporating mosaic tiles into the surrounding cement walls. With help from Kari Bayait, project originator, and the Southern Tier Celebrates organization which closed in 2010, this project became a reality. The glass tiles were donated by Susan Jablon Mosaics; the piece was the first mosaic done within downtown Binghamton. The inspiration for this piece was to bring color, joy and happiness to the city. This artistic group wanted people to take pride in Binghamton and this piece was meant to give them hope."

Setting: Outside Place: It is on the Riverwalk by the Chenango River off of Court Street. Use: Sculpture to decorate the downtown area on a walkway.
