ES worked closely with Karl Meyer and First Nations artist Allan Sumner to create sculptural showers and a patterned splashback which form an engaging and enduring public artwork, integrated throughout the new Seacliff Plaza redevelopment.

These artworks include detailing inspired by native peppermint box trees and interpretive elements of written language in both Kaurna and English, which enhance the traditional and modern connection to the land. The integration of these interpretive motifs celebrate and provide further reflection on naming and place. The artwork provides differing sight lines to highlight the configuration and interplay of the three forms creating a unique physical relationship that changes from the different approaches.
