Vortex comes twisting up out of the earth, a curled sliver of steel. The water seems to come from nowhere, as it spills out of her top and trips down her ribbed slide, bouncing from curve to curve before disappearing into the earth again.

The water in this remarkable fountain actually comes up both sides, through the tubular supports to the top, only to tumble down again.

The bottom photo shows Vortex installed at its new home in North Scottsdale.
