About This Piece

From the artist’s proposal, “Leap of Faith” consists of two, 25 foot towers that stand on each side of the Speer Boulevard entrance. The base of each is painted in bright colors as is the upper most panels. The middle section of cutout figures and designs, evoking roller coaster images, and whimsy are made of brushed stainless steel. Copper cast whirly-gigs and weather vanes also add to the feeling of fancy and fun. They are integrated into the entire design and move frequently with the wind. Ortega’s goal was to create a set of very technological, highly systematic and carefully designed towers that show a humorous, bizarre and fun end.
