Pondering Around

How do you become aware of the here and now and how do you experience the meaning of a place? Pondering Around is an invitation to contemplation and reflection. Upon entering the circular platform, the apparently closed mirroring outer surface unfolds into two arches of repeating slats with an increasingly open structure to a warm wooden interior: the barrier forms the portal to a new world. Can that open structure make one feel safe? The mirrors outside enhance the transition to a place where the visitor can withdraw from the hectic pace of every day life. Inside the visitor feels both closed off and open. An intense sense of being occurs, enhanced by the gentle movement of the platform floating on the water.
