Early builds of early transpecies design concepts

Plaque that reads, “Memorial Light Column; The final design of the memorial light columns represents the fragility of humans while memorializing species that are going extinct in regions importants to us. The species names listed here are endangered species in the region of the Overlook Field School. The design on the middle acrylic panel is representative of the texture left behind by invasive beetles when they eat through the bark of tree trunks on the Overlook Property.”
