From the article:
San Francisco sculptor Ruth Asawa created the bronze statue in 1973. Seven feet high, the fountain is a focal point of a smaller public square close to the larger Union Square. The artist explains that the fountain represents events, figures and places relating to the city — and over 250 people contributed to the project.
