a phallic fountain - an archetypal monument

i built this concrete monument in 2007 at the university of san diego, where it has lived in a garden since. i was recently asked to remove the work due to its graphic content. prior to its destruction, i decided to spray paint the work to accentuate its vulgarity. the accompanying video depicts its last act as a fountain - it was soon after 'castrated'.
