The proposal is an eddy in this stream of people. A point of calmness, of respite, where participants choose to break from the flow, and enter a place to float for a while.
Like a naturally occurring eddy, looking North or South it appears as a disturbance on the surface. Upon approach, its influence is more apparent. A traveller can choose to succumb to its pull, or steer around it.
The Eddy’s edge offers a view to the outside flow, an opportunity to contemplate an inevitable re-entry to the stream. Some will circle its core, shelter from the outside, and find a fellow traveller with whom they can collaborate.
Those travelling beneath may get caught amongst The Eddy’s pillars, making use of its shade and water taps, from roof harvested rain.
