Wind and Wave is the first commissioned work completed by MFASC. We were commissioned to design, fabricate and install the sculpture. The sculpture was designed in Google SketchUp. This allowed them to engineer the sculpture to withstand the severe weather of the Gulf and was Windstorm certified to withstand a CAT-3 Hurricane. Part of MFASC responsibilities was to contract third party construction team and engineers to install a certified foundation for the sculpture. This site specific sculpture was created to work with the newly refurbished pool. Its color scheme was designed to reflect the colors of the differing pool elements and contrast with them. MFASC was asked to create a sculpture that also functioned as a shade structure. Using this requirement as a starting point we used the suns movement to cast a shadow that depicts a flock of birds passing over the viewer. Creating an aesthetic effect that provides relief from the sun for those not directly enjoying the pool. We decided to use the silhouette of south Texas birds that can be found in the Corpus Christi area. Using the image of local birds in a flock we feel that this imagery represents the strong community of south Texas, Corpus Christi, and the Collier pool area. Its elevated design gives it a striking presence during the day and night. By elevating the sculpture MFASC was also able to greatly reduce the potential for vandalism and personal injury. It keeps lines of site open for patrolling police officers and parents this helps to discouraging the criminal element and improving safety
