Fu Fountains is a place of sanctuary. The pieces are designed from a number series by Leonardo Fibonacci (1225 a.d.). The numbers are known as the Fibonacci series which consist of [0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89, 144,233,337 ...adding the previous integer to the next to get the third].

Coincidentally or non-coincidental; depending on your faith, this number series corroborates throughout nature, especially in the corollas of flowers and botanical infrastructure. Of course, as is with everything, this is not 100% true all the time. The amount of correlations you may see in two minutes of observation in any garden or backyard will probably open your eyes to what I am after. I am not necessarily after the answer, to be on the right path, rather to see all the pretty flowers will do just fine for me.

The design to me its simple. Keep inside the parameters set by Fibonacci with no straight lines, and you cannot go wrong. This sounds simple, right? Louisa has 89 leaves, 8 flower heads; Carmelita - 8 heads with 223 leaves; The flower corollas-21 petals. How do they both achieve the balance to the natural eye? Because IF they existed in nature, they would have those numbers, and COULD look like that.

Your mind accepts the structure as naturally valid, hence, the balance. This, along with being made of pure copper and silver, produces a tranquil negative ionosphere in the surrounding space when water is run through the pieces.

This effect is truly my artistic mission. To create THAT space where EVERYTHING comes together and time means nothing. --FU-- Fu Fountains by Jason Forro
