Fountain of Youth, repurposed found objects
Mark Mitchell’s Fountain of Youth is a satirical piece, poking fun at the tendency of so many aging Floridians who attempt to recapture their former youth. It focuses on two adults who, upon visiting the Fountain of Youth immerse themselves in the water and magically turn back the clock.
