The idea of environmental succession is the central focus of this installation as it relates to the idea of change and evolution within an existing ecosystem. In nature, when a tree falls and sunlight hits the forest floor, new life begins to grow out of the decomposition, slowly changing over time. The evolution of the Lakeview Village site, from industrial lands to what will be a thriving, sustainable lakefront community thematically relates to the idea of succession and growth. As visitors walk underneath the installation, they will feel as though they are witnessing a changing natural environment. The time it takes them to walk along the entirety of the art piece will also be symbolic of the importance of time in both natural succession, and in the time it takes to physically and socially build a new community. The more time that passes, the more diverse, strong and interesting it becomes. As well, the complex ecosystems and native flora and mosses present in the many trail networks and conservation lands in Mississauga are represented in the piece through the plant palette selection, bringing the experience of being immersed in nature inside the Discovery Center.
