Summary:
Eleven year old Jamie Alford stands swinging on a rope. She reaches up with both hands to hold the rope, her head flung back, her bare proper right foot in the rope's loop. She has a ponytail, and wears a short-sleeved shirt with collar, and pants. The sculpture is placed in the center of a fountain and the rope's tassel appears to drag in the water. Eight water spouts are arranged in a half-circle around the tassel, spouting water away from it. The base is submerged.
