The creation is intended to be a poetic representation of the notions of learning, knowledge-sharing, cooperation, collective protection, and collective strength. In this artwork, the foxes collaborate and endeavour towards a common goal. They embody collective intelligence, agility, and spirit. Their presence reveals the benevolence of a protector who unites and demonstrates empathy in the darkest of moments. As for the diamond-shaped pattern which appears on the building, it portrays in a way, the essence of a transformation, an evolution that occurs through everyone’s involvement.
