One of five groupings of sculpture placed at various sites within Battery Park. This particular grouping includes a large marble pool of water with ripples set in the grass. On one side is a marble waterfall flowing down a concrete wall. Next to that is a second waterfall cascading down four steps. There are feet coming out of the water on the steps. Above this is a small pool of water, and above the straight waterfall is a square piece of marble with fingers and a mouth coming out of it.
