Eggs on Water at Gardens by the BayPush one of the eggs along the boardwalk and watch as it changes colour, causing a ripple effect with the other eggs in the lake. This exemplifies the connectedness between people and the ability for our actions to have a resonating effect.

Future Together, Gardens by the BayFlowers and People at Bayfront Plaza lights up the Giant Lattice Mass with a fertile wall of digital flowers. The flowers bud, grow and bloom, symbolising the hopes and dreams for the future along with the continuous cycle of life and death.
