Description
The 'Water of Life' is a sculptural water feature that presents the life changing encounter between Jesus and the woman of Samaria, as told in John's gospel, Ch4.v14, celebrating the literal and spiritual, life-giving properties of water.
The circular shape brings the two figures face to face, lending intensity and tenderness to the encounter. Water flows continually from the shared cup, over the hands and into the pool in the dish below, from where the sculpture is illuminated, through the water.
Around this dish are the words:- 'Jesus said "the water that / I shall give will be an / inner spring always welling / up for eternal life." John 4:14
