  • Dancing Waters Column, Stainless Steel
As we explore the depths of our being, past and present, Dancing Waters connects us to nature and the natural world. The architectonic wall depicts graphic shapes of liquid ocean. As the shades move from light to darkness, we become vulnerable to truth and understanding. A thousand times deeper we find “Love.” The meaning of this piece is richly layered and will keep revealing new secrets over time. Sculpture is the poetry of form, and with the timeless words of Rumi, there are additional dimensions to be discovered.

Experience the Depths of Love with Richard MacDonald’s "Dancing Waters"

“You’ve been walking the ocean’s edge, holding up your robes to keep them dry... You must dive naked under AND deeper under, a thousand times deeper! Love flows down.” — Rumi

Discover the profound beauty of Richard MacDonald’s “Dancing Waters,” a stunning 6-foot tall sculpture in patinated stainless steel. This piece encapsulates the essence of Rumi's timeless words, inviting you on a journey of self-exploration, love, and vulnerability.

As you gaze upon the graceful female figure, diving weightlessly into the depths, you’ll find serenity reflected in her classical features. The innovative patinated stainless steel enhances the sculpture’s luminosity, allowing light to dance across its surface and creating a mesmerizing interplay of shadow and reflection.

"Dancing Waters" is not just a visual masterpiece; it is a meditation on the complexities of life and love. The architectonic wall, with its flowing shapes reminiscent of ocean waves, connects us to nature and the eternal rhythm of existence. Each glance reveals new layers of meaning, encouraging a deeper understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.

This sculpture serves as a reminder that to truly love and understand, we must dive deeper—past the surface and into the depths of our emotions. With Richard MacDonald’s artistry and Rumi’s poetic wisdom, “Dancing Waters” will continue to inspire and resonate, revealing new secrets over time.

Embrace the journey. Celebrate the love. Discover the art.
