The portal between the tower and the star.
The tower is often feared because it represents destruction. This is the necessary destruction of something which no longer serves us, whether it be a pattern of behaviour, a relationship, or ideology. Out of the wreckage, there is space for the light of hope to shine.
Sculpture: Exploded Tower
Ashley Dodd
Eventually all structures of control fall apart and from the pieces something new emerges. When we grow beyond our limits and deconstruct patterns of behaviour, harm, and separation that have been passed down through generations, a glimmer of our own light starts to shine through. We may still carry the scars of the past, but we are no longer bound by the past and that which limits us. These glimmers offer hope and wonder that there is light after the dark.
Music

Percussion echoes the conflict that was overcome, the breaking down of the rigid structure of control. In its wake, the hopeful sound of bells. The ambient sounds invite a moment of respite before the continuation of the journey.
