PROJECT UNDERSTANDING <br /> Everything is made of stardust. I find it utterly amazing that every atom in our bodies, and <br /> everything we interact with, are atoms created in the blazing hearts of stars and, when those <br /> stars blast themselves apart in a supernova, their heavy atoms spread throughout the universe. <br /> Elk River is much like that star. The community recognizes how important public art is and has <br /> slowly aggregated into an environment where art and community are forged into a unified <br /> force to enhance the lives of those they touch throughout the world. Pretty cool stuff, really. <br /> Molecular speaks to that nurturing role. Simple <br /> atoms aggregate into something more. The cubic • <br /> "atoms" combine into a larger molecule which glows <br /> "fiN <br /> from the power within. The roof is cubic shapes <br /> reminiscent of stalactites. These represent the slow <br /> steady drip and accumulation of knowledge over the ' ,�' <br /> course of time. The cave-like stalactites also � '' <br /> reference the caves where we have found the oldest <br /> human art (at least 40,000 years).The four pillars are 4 / <br /> a representation of the Pillars of Creation -- a massive , <br /> star factory in the Eagle Nebula. ,, . <br /> Craig Snyder/Homan Wong Elk RiverProposal <br />
