Vanishing edge swimming pool designer reconstructed a leaking baptismal font creating an Italian glass tile mosaic vessel worthy of the commanding entrance of this private foyer.
Theology of the Design - The Design Elements and Their Meanings
Significant thought went into the redesign of the physical attributes and safety of this reconstructed font. The real importance of the design is found in the placement and use of the materials and colors:
1. The bronze statue of Christ occupies a commanding position atop the upper font, gazing through the skylight towards heaven above.
2. A gradient blend of glass tile mosaics originates with a blend of blacks & grays and transforms to a blend of yellows – signifying baptism in Christ's name is leaving one's sinful past behind (blacks/grays) and beginning and dawn of a new life (sunrise/yellows).
3. The upper bowl (cube) is a blend of whites and opalescent pearls... infants that are baptized here are free of mortal sin (purity/white).
4. A smattering of 24 karat gold mosaic tiles spill from the statue of the ascending Christ, over the spill way & cascades out onto the floor of the lower font.... Christ is the source of our everlasting life.
5. The black/gray entry step contains a few yellow tiles... because there is a little good in everyone, no matter how sinful they may be.
6. A singular gold mosaic tile is on the yellow exit step... Christ will forever be with those who are baptized & walk in his name.
7. The shadows from the hands of the statue of the ascending Christ touch both the black/gray entry step and the yellow exit step... Christ will forever guide those baptized in his name.

The unique design of the fanned vanishing edge, softens the trickle of water over the pearl and oro (gold leaf) tiles. The tiles return is concealed behind the statue pedestal.
