Default New $2.25M art installation (Blue Ring 2.0)

Okay, while this at least looks like art as compared to the blue ring, not a fan of the giant pipe sticking out of it. Is it supposed to look like a stream of water coming out of a faucet and splashing on the ground? It also looks like a giant trypophobia trigger with all the holes.

Couldn't we have spent the money on ACAD students designing something in CAD and and metal 3D printing/CNCing the thing?

Why are our public art funds always spent on art from abroad that seems middling and doesn't evoke imagination and wonder? (shakes fist at cloud).
