From the very first splash, this dynamic artwork makes waves! An animated water drop strikes the water and reveals the WQA logo. As the drop ripples outward, more of the legacy is revealed. Once the water stills, pop-up directions instruct viewers to tap or click on each item for a description.

"This interactive piece is more than 50th anniversary art—it's a celebration of WQA's important   legacy and an invitation to explore it," says Romorini.

The association's story begins at the top and flows counterclockwise. The early years are represented with a tree trunk water pipe slice and logos of the two predecessor organizations. Archival photographs, publications, WQRF studies, and physical objects are visually layered throughout the collage.

Special features include the Certifications of People and Certifications of Product, WQA's advocacy and events. Glistening water drops, sprinkled throughout the piece, display milestones. Original 3D Items include awards, tree, a vintage pipe slice, a microscope, pins, ribbons, and U.S. Capitol.
