A Fountain for Survivors is an art exhibit that debuted at Times Square on Thursday, October 14th. It will be on display everyday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. until December 8th. As the name implies, it is a homage to female survivors of all kinds. The large room-like structure resembles that of female genitalia, and it’s exterior is made entirely out of colorful acrylic nails. The inside has a fountain, which also explains the name.
According to the artist, Pamela Council, she wanted the fountain to be safe and meditative, which is why she put the fountain inside of a structure instead of just leaving it by itself. I think this will lend itself to a visual and emotional story, and it will likely be easy to find people to interview and to use the tripod rather than freehand, since it is currently a large attraction at Times Square, which is crowded, but has reasonable standing room.
