The fountain is composed of cast glass (Rivulet) with fused dichroic glass. Above the fountain are suspended glass rods and slumped sandblasted wings.
The water is collected in a self contained pool and re-circlulates. The flowing water symbolizes the purifying and cleansing act of Baptism.

The wings represent the descending and ascending dove which symbolize the Holy Spirit while the rods which shimmer with color from the lights and move gently with air currents, represent the fresh winds of the Holy Spirit, or the "breath of life".
