Ring of Water next
Ring of Water Ring of Water Side
The first installation of its kind in the United States, the Ring of Water is located in the courtyard of Control Components Headquarters in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The 13 ft. copper ring sculpture stands on the upper tier of a black granite pool lined with river rocks. Defying gravity, water cascades along the ridged outer and smooth inner perimeters of the circle adhering to the surfaces of the sculpture.

Centered next to the ring are a pair of curved copper columns arranged to form a pattern of interlocking C's, suggesting the company headquarters' global presence. Each column produces a patterned water flow over the outer surfaces, with smooth sheets of water flowing downward along the inner surfaces. The combination of the water flow over the ring, together with the flow over the columns creates a dynamic visual effect that is simultaneously dramatic and mesmerizing.
