Blending a stalk of barley with a rustic smoke stack, it suspends a Japanese glass float in the sky as a reminder of the rivers connection with the Pacific Ocean."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://racc.org/public-art/search/?recid=1840.179 )〕 It is part of the City of Portland and Multnomah County Public Art Collection courtesy of the Regional Arts & Culture Council.〔
