Ogun is a metal sculpture located in Columbus, OH, portraying the powerful and ancient Orisha, Ogun, the God of iron, energy, and creativity. Crafted by artist Steve Bush in 2017, the sculpture represents fire and is a tribute to the spirit of metalwork. This installation is the culmination of a decade-long creative effort involving the City of Upper Arlington and the Cultural Arts Commission.
Another captivating piece at the site is Egeria, a concrete interactive sculptural fountain designed by local artist Gene Friley in 2009. Inspired by the Greek Goddess Egeria, the fountain encourages visitor participation by allowing them to pump water through the sculpture without the need for electricity. The fountain offers a unique "green" element, enhancing the overall artistic experience.
Emerging Edafos, an installation created in 2011 through a collaboration between the Cultural Arts and Parks & Forestry Divisions, reshapes the landscape with three distinctive mounds made of soil and planted with turf type fescue. This artistic endeavor transforms the small space with subtle textures and changes, showcasing the community's creative vision and commitment to innovation.
