This stainless steel sculpture “floating” on the Spokane River was created by Harold Balazs in 1978 and dedicated to the city in 1981 in celebration of the City of Spokane's centennial year.
Harold Balazs is a renowned and adored Spokane figure, and locally his work is most associated with this Riverfront Park sculpture.
The sculpture weighs 2 tons and is fixed to the bottom of the Spokane River's south channel. The 35 foot long steel sculpture was designed to reflect light from the water. To capture how light reflects off water and make his sculpture look like it morphs in appearance, Balazs consulted marine engineers from Seattle. During the time of its installation, this sculpture was one of the largest floating statues in the world.
