Father and Son, Public fountain at Olympic Sculpture Park in Seattle, United States.
The fountain features an oval basin measuring 36 feet by 26 feet, containing two bronze statues representing a father and son facing each other.
Between 2004 and 2005, Louise Bourgeois created this fountain using stainless steel, aluminum, water, and bronze following a substantial donation to Seattle Art Museum.
The alternating water display between father and son figures represents the passage of time and generational relationships in modern American society.
Located within the Olympic Sculpture Park, visitors can observe the illuminated fountain display throughout the day and evening hours.
The fountain operates as a conceptual clock, with water levels changing to reveal one figure at a time while bells mark the passing hours.
