An installation of five interactive totems for the entryway to early learning classrooms. Each totem features a series of interchangeable components, made from timber, aluminium and mirrored surfaces, inviting investigation and interaction. They feature illustrations of animals, plants and human roles familiar to the children, and encourage children to explore themes of nature and self, through touch, sight and sound.
