Near Dadong Arts Center is a 71.4-meter hill previously used as a military-controlled field battle training site by the Military Academy and Army Infantry School. In recent years, some areas have been opened to the public as hiking trails, with clear water natural springs attracting many mountaineers. Yasuo Tominaga, the creator of “The Fountain of Creation”, incorporated the geographical environment into this artwork. He used the image of springs spurting upwards to symbolize the incessant flow of creativity, creative power, and innovation; thus, implying the combined efforts made by Kaohsiung citizens in all walks of life to elevate Kaohsiung’s competitiveness, much like water droplets gathering to form the ocean.
鄰近大東文化藝術中心有座最高海拔達71.4公尺的丘陵，之前為陸軍官校與步校的野戰訓練場地而受到軍事管制，近年來開放部分區域與白天時間提供民眾健行登山，山區裡有處水質清澈的天然湧泉，終年豐沛不斷，吸引許多登山客特地前往取用。
藝術家富永泰雄將此地理環境特色融入公共藝術裡，創作出《創造之湧泉》，以向上噴發的湧泉意象，象徵高雄的創意力、創造力、創新力源源不絕地爆發，也隱喻在各崗位上努力的每位市民，如同小水滴匯集成廣大海洋，共同打造創意無限的城市競爭力。
