Two key aspects involved in creating a sculpture: presentation, focusing on its appearance and display, and construction, handling the actual building and assembly.

Ms. Davis's concern about the Zika virus was a main reason for her not wanting to travel to Panama for the installation of the Waterways sculpture.

Ms. Davis was concerned about the Zika virus, particularly its potential impact on pregnant women and newborns.

Ed Berto, another artist who was knowledgeable about the Waterways project, could not travel due to health issues related to his knee replacement.

The artist was primarily concerned about avoiding infection in his knee replacement, which could have resulted from physically demanding work.

The artist had already experienced complications with his knee replacement, leading him to seek medical treatment.

The artist's work often involves physically demanding tasks, such as climbing and handling large sculptures, which posed a risk to his recovery.

The artist, being older and less physically able, adopted a studio approach to art creation, working on multiple pieces simultaneously.

The artist's schedule was already full, limiting his ability to supervise the installation of Waterways.

The artist's legacy is represented by his sculptures, which are showcased globally, showcasing his artistic talent.

The artist believed in nurturing artistic talent, seeing Ms. Davis as a promising artist with potential for success.
