A participatory mixed-media installation that questions our position in the world and perceptions about our relation to the natural environment. Upon reading of a title plaque, viewers are enticed to enter the space/place that includes a maze configuration of water troughs with live chia trees and a raised throne in the middle. The perimeter of the space is defined by a circle of extremely white grow lights. After wandering the maze of miniature trees, the viewer sits on the throne, a sensor activates a motor which slowly turns the chair (viewer) one revolution then stops. The viewer is in a position of being the center of the universe on this slow revolution; the perspective is looking down upon the forest with the sun in the background.
