Journaling: The public artwork is composed of 12 sculptures that reflect the wildlife of the river. One of the main sculptures in the series, the dragonfly is considered to be one of the most ancient species that survived from the Jurassic period. The dragonfly references the element of water, as well as the health of the river and its ecological systems. The insects are of various sizes, heights and locations attached to posts on ball bearings that allow them to move with the wind. Sunlight creates additional interest by casting shadows through the laser cut wings and reflections off the colorful glass eyes. The sculptures are intended to reawaken the relationship to the wind, sun, and water, fundamental elements of nature in this urban park. The sculptures also celebrate the Guadalupe River that gives life to flora and fauna and people of San José.
