Science and Technology
This composition, based on the symbiotic relationship of science and technology, reminds us of the importance of past, present, and future scientific and technological growth in Utah. Science is the adult mentor in this sculpture, as science ultimately provides for the development of technology with its most basic knowledge. Science inspires the curious youth, technology, with the spirit of discovery. The symbols of innovation used in the sculpture were selected for their universal and timeless recognition. Science's telescope is similar to the kind Galileo would have used. The young Technology is seen with a wheel, derived from ancient Greek chariot designs; an aqueduct of the type commonly found in ancient Rome; and a compass, his design instrument. |
