Confluence
Talley Fisher, 2022
Rivers are the lifeblood of civilization, especially in Pittsburgh, with its three rivers flowing through the heart of the city. At the confluence where the Allegheny and the Monongahela Rivers form the Ohio River, Pittsburgh’s rich history of industry merges with technology, healthcare and educational institutions, creating a vibrant city full of culture, diversity and opportunity. Confluence is a suspended sculpture with ripples of blue and aqua flowing through the concourse, and the piece honors and symbolizes the three rivers of Pittsburgh. Patterns on the piece interact to give the illusion of movement, especially from the moving walkway below.
