This 40 foot, 20 ton bronze sculpture was a 50th anniversary gift of the Class of 1952. Renowned Spanish artist, Faustino Aizkorbe, designed it and this is his first commissioned work in the US. Viewed from above, the sculpture appears to be unfurling and creating a symmetrical pattern. This symbolized what Aizkorbe refers to as “Purdue’s continued evolution and changing nature, supported by the strength of its heritage.”
