The sculpture takes the form of a giant twisted sponge, resembling an hourglass, that symbolizes the diminishing availability of water, and conveying the environmental threat that this essential resource is facing over time.

The base has a dual purpose; supporting the upper sculpture and housing a \u201csound box\u201d that when turned by a handle, will generate the sound of running water.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight:
