West Des Moines approves new City Hall sculpture

An anonymous donor has agreed to pay for the purchase and permanent installation of a sculpture in front of the West Des Moines City Hall.

• "Confluence" is a bronze and steel piece by Moline artist David Zahn.

Zoom in: It's a larger-than-life upper body of a man positioned on a tilted base with his body counteracting to balance.

• It represents personal growth and adaptation to the changes people face in life, Zahn told Axios.
• The waives represent the fluidity of nature, Zahn said.

State of play: The West Des Moines City Council accepted the gift during Tuesday's council meeting.

• It'll cost the donor around $18,500 and be installed later this year.
