- Camera
- axial ultra-wide panorama with evenly distributed visual weight and a clear centered horizon
- Living subject
- a diverse ecology of anatomically natural wildlife at true scale, with no mascot
- Day behaviour
- active naturally across the landscape: peacocks walking, deer grazing, cranes feeding and small birds in flight
- Night behaviour
- resting or roosting naturally while nocturnal moths gather near restrained civic lanterns
- Palette
- luxury emerald, verdigris, turquoise, lapis, ivory and pale gold
- Materials
- emerald and turquoise glass tesserae, ivory limestone, water, living forests and gold smalti
