This large, immersive art installation requires interaction to be fully appreciated. One scene in daylight, at night the scene changes as lighting comes into play. feel free to sit or stand on any of the many large cubes scattered about.

Hit up our daily coffee service and come have a chat. Note: All conversations are meant to be respectful and inclusive. We ask that participants create a safe environment for sharing and listening.
