brief descriptor

it can be entered into suggesting the entrance to a jetty or a lighthouse, and once inside a series of cutouts offer glimpses capturing the harbour, city, sky and park. the ocean viewed through a metal grate in the floor reverberates through the artwork, like the secret of listen-ing to the sea in a shell held in the palm of a hand.
