This installation is called "Daphne Garden".  It is an instalation that was part of a larger project."Art in the Garden."  The city of
Chicago has decided to keep the
installation where it is untill
  September 2005.  I am not sure
where it will go after that.

The garden is about
Daphne.   She was
running away from Apollo who wanted to
capture her.   She had run out of options.   She called upon her father,the river god,to help her.
He turned her into a laurel tree to save her from Apollo.   The garden is celebrating the moment she realized that she was free.    She surrendered to the unknown and got freedom.
