Savannah Waterworks
Savannah River
Thousands of years ago, Paleoindians appeared along the Savannah River near the end of the Ice Age. Sometime during the early 17th century, the Westo Indians took up residence along the river. The Westo used the river for fishing, water supplies, transportation, and trade. Many historians believe the name "Savannah" was borrowed from the Taino word Zabana. Meaning open plain or grassy plain.
The Savannah River swiftly flows down the southeastern side of the Appalachian Mountains making its way into gentle slopes and starts to meander across forestry regions merging into the Atlantic ocean. My concept design portrays raindrops creating ripples in the river. Ripples also that morph into difererent-sized oak tree rings. Forming many connections of life in general. I envisioned children, even adults, having fun, through the painted walkway, jumping from ripple to ripple. Imagining that they themselves create ripples as they land on each point.
Located in Savannah’s Carver Village Historic District.
