Echo Gate, Copper sculpture at Eastbank Esplanade in Portland, US
Echo Gate features a round opening within a folded rectangle, measuring 13 feet in height, 9 feet in width, and 7 feet in depth.
The Regional Arts & Culture Council commissioned this public artwork in 2001 through Portland Development Commission's Percent for Art program.
The sculpture incorporates elements that reference historical pier buildings and tunnels of Shanghai while connecting to Portland's maritime environment.
The installation stands beneath Morrison Bridge, allowing clear views for pedestrians and cyclists traveling along the Eastbank Esplanade path.
Four copper surfaces create different reflections throughout the day, changing the visual experience as natural light moves across the sculpture.
