The dedication is a culmination of an effort started in 2010 by Dr. C. Alfred Patten to have a piece of public art in the city that honors volunteerism, as exemplified by the late Max Hunt and his wife, Doris.

The sculpture was designed by Guy Bellaver to meet the Hunt family’s vision of a work of art that captured Max and Doris Hunt’s spirit.

Bellaver …  wanted to create the sculpture as part of his Fermilab-inspired Quark series, where the art is all about energy. The sculpture is about the energy found in volunteers, and Bellaver said he wanted residents to see themselves reflected within the city.

The St. Charles Municipal Building is a Registered Historic Place located on the east bank of the Fox River in St. Charles, Illinois. The building was designed in 1940 by noted local architect R. Harold Zook. Although the building is in Art Deco style, but the end result conformed more closely to the Modern movement. The building was constructed on the former site of the Fixture Factory, which was destroyed in a 1929 fire. The centerpiece of the building is an 84 foot tower. The tower is a true octagon with a diameter of 31 feet.
