The garden depicts the complexity and wonder of the universe and human brain, both so baffling that we can only ask the question ‘why?’ A seemingly chaotic dome of black rods is positioned over a grass plinth – a reference to Chaos Theory. Cut into the centre of the plinth is a miniature dome structure, the rods finished in gold and representing the human mind. The Rolawn Medallion Turf that covers the plinth seems simple, but on closer inspection is a complex structure and ecosystem.
