24. This Weird Fountain

One of the reliefs from this weird fountain I know This pool with a four-pronged sculpture rising out of it is part of my earliest memories. I still don't get it.

Each side of the sculpture has bronze reliefs that resemble abstracted human figures. I like to think of myself as a person with some ability to figure things out, but the meaning of these figures and how they relate to each other eludes me. It might be a style of aboriginal artwork, but nothing I've seen before.

The fountain, sun-dappled. A swimming figure adorns one side of this thing.
