This spatial intervention aims to bridge the gap between human and animal spaces specifically targeting catering to the Australian Pygmyfly species. The wing-like structure would be filled with water from the fountain to give the dragonflies the impression of the presence of a large body of water. The wings of dragonflies have an intricate system of veins that allow liquids to pass through efficiently. The spike structures act as resting points. The design was inspired by the plants surrounding the natural habitat of the Australian Pygmyfly.

Location: south Yarra station, Melbourne.
