Explore the Sculptural features of this artwork.
A rippling 400-foot (120 m) "snake" wall, ranging between 4 and 9 feet (1.2 and 2.7 m) in height, forms the perimeter of the garden. Colorful mosaic serpent sculptures are positioned along the top of the wall. The single entrance opens onto a maze whose short walls and floor are covered in black, white, and mirrored mosaic tiles. After navigating the maze, visitors can enter the courtyard where the ten primary sculptures are located. The ten freestanding sculptures—Califia, the fountain, and the eight totems—are influenced by an eclectic combination of Native American, pre-Columbian, and Mexican art.
