Her Secret Is Patience is a public art sculpture commission designed by artist Janet Echelman for the city of Phoenix.

Its creation was the result of collaboration between the artist and a team of award-winning engineers, architects, planners, and fabricators.

It is located downtown in the Civic Space Park across from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University.

The sculpture consists of painted, galvanized steel; polyester twine netting; and colored lights.

Those forms were then translated into CAD software in order to define the geometry and surfaces of the sculpture.

"[8] The Arizona Republic editorialized: "This is just what Phoenix need: a distinctive feature that helps create a real sense of place.
