A continuous and seamless polished steel skin wrapping around the three cones holding up the large access platform. A shiny jewel in the green forest valley of the park. It is an object that will attract people from afar. The shell, with its liquid mercury form, borrows the motion and aesthetic of its surroundings. It directs and accentuates focus on its surroundings so visitors can experience infinite and surreal reflections of themselves and their surroundings.
