Transformative Mediation: Through understanding the complex layers of boundaries that exist, there is a desire to create an overarching image that can encompass the elastic nature of these layers as well as reflect and simulate the issues of the geopolitical scene.

Due to the natural heritage and ecologically rich nature of the site, there is significance in making use of the existing ecosystems to formulate a novel interpretation and vision through those who traverse boundaries differently from humans.

Animals as an imagery has always played a pivotal role in politics, existing as symbolism in emblems and flags, elements of diplomatic relations as diplomatic gifts and also as diplomats themselves as pets of ambassadors, enjoying the same privileges and liberates as its owner. But more significantly, animals have become a key international discussion and debate regarding conservation and environmental issues. Its intertwining relation with people and politics lays potential for it to be more than just a part of our ecosystem but should be adapted to embody an image and vision.

In particular, the idea and consideration of to be applicable and progressively significant to the issue of boundaries. It is known that Bird migration, or more generally bird movement, knows no artificial boundaries. When the climatic conditions or the food supply reach a level that could endanger their existence, they move on to an area that will accommodate their need for survival – boundaries or borders are not part of their world. Learning about the movement of birds as well as visioning from their perspective up above helps to view this phenomenon of boundary creation with a view of irony and by immolating how birds perceive the hard boundaries that we humans create as they create their own inner yard highways to get around as a substitute for all the trees that existed before we got here, it forms a new perspective of how we can perceive connection, communication and bonds across

birds’ species among all animals has rendered borders and boundaries.

As such the preservation of these boundless species and ecosystem can be used to soften the walls of exclusivity, which is so often used, but instead vision the creation of a more functional space and connectors for spectators of this geopolitical scene.
