Thrown in clay and modeled to represent flora and fauna native to the Zoo site, the ceramic rings - each a complete artwork - embody the interdependence found in every aspect of nature. Organisms that promote decay are on the bottom.  In the next layer the ground dwelling animals and plants can be seen.  Finally at the top a bald eagle soars.  This sculpture helps visitors gain a better understanding of the web of life.
