The sculptural project created by Cicada Collective followed a strict schedule. Swan Lee and Julian Ernst exchanged their respective fountain-shaped sculptures every other week, taking turns working on them individually without communicating beyond the changes they made to the sculpture. As a result, their individual artistic and visual languages and narratives blend with each other in the form of a pot.

The show, Aquanura, can only be viewed from outside through a show window. This fountain show runs on a programmed time schedule with special lighting effects. During the show, Julian Ernst and Swan Lee appear on stage as technicians who control the machines and effects.
