This 3 × 3 m outdoor sculpture depicts a horse-shaped fountain inspired by Gothic cathedral gargoyles: water recirculates through internal pipes and hoses, periodically filling the jaw so the horse “spouts” from its mouth onto its belly before being reabsorbed at the navel, with the jaw’s motion likely animating the tail; humorously, the piece can also be displayed upright as a static sculpture, allowing two distinct modes of presentation and emotional impact.
