__Why My Fountain should be Chosen__

My design should be chosen because of the immense meaning it has behind it. The fountain features four water jets crisscrossing closely together as if in conflict. However, over all of them and surrounding all of them is a single jet of water. This stream of water symbolizes how we all share a common home, which is the earth. And even though we may disagree at times we are all on the same earth under the same “water jet” and how beautiful it is that this stream of water encompasses us all. My design is especially relevant in a time of international, and national conflict. This design is meant to remind us all that we do share something no matter our race, religion or gender. My design can also be put anywhere and still look magnificent, it could have a place outside a justice building, a hotel or even in a park. It is very versatile and would work in many settings in many different areas.
