This beautifully designed piece (Furmaan Ahmed, Cryptic and Heather Lander) is a site-specific piece designed to lull the sense and illuminate.

The props and design are in harmony with the sounds and the human bodies. It is a tranquil space. Stimulation of the senses and the absence of inhibition and external influences has a calming effect as soothing as the ethereal concept.

'Weathervanes" is a diverse visual space and a time out for you. It has beauty
