The concept behind this design is to highlight the internal conflicts we all endure in every day life in resisting the temptation to sin.
A key feature of the garden is to interrogate the definition of the 7 Deadly Sins and the 7 Heavenly Virtues in timber black rendered monoliths on two sides of the garden. Each post symbolises a sin and a virtue in conflict with each other. These opposite attractions are connected by ‘see-saw’ structures which symbolise the relationship between and indicate the need for ‘balance’ to achieve harmony in life.
