No carnival is complete without a ferris wheel, and that was the foundational idea behind this spinning sight visible from the entrance to Hello Wood’s Summer School and Festival camp. Deemed to be the ‘Eye of Hello Wood’, it references the famous attraction of London and aims to offer the same iconic ability to draw your attention from a distance, and is designed to be colourful and eye-catching like any tourist attraction should be. But there’s a deeper symbolism to this project, too, with the ferris wheel representing a Venn diagram with only one circle, the belief that everything is connected and the same. It’s a message of community and connectedness, one that suggests that no one is different from another person at all - that we are all part of the same organism.
