How can we justify the creation of a large public sculpture to tout the gospel of sustainability, if the process of its creation was not sustainable? Is the creation of a large public sculpture just another expression act of consumption to create material wealth? How can you create and deliver in a sustainable fashion? How do you design the sculpture so that it will be as interdependent with the community with its message, and independent and inert as possible with its maintenance and own ongoing energy needs? How do you express this message in a way the local community will understand and appreciate?
