Fountain of Youth
Legend has it that the wondrous waters of the Fountain of Youth cure diseases, preserve youthfulness, reverse aging, and even grant eternal life. Throughout history, many researchers and adventurers have searched for such fountains, unaware that one exists right here, in the Hansen House courtyard. Transparent and elusive, there and not there, it holds the water and is the water all at the same time. In this era of drying lakes and melting icebergs, the search for life-giving water is more relevant than ever. This project is supported by Aquapoolco Chen Ltd
