The artist, Matthew Geller, strives to engage the public and foster a sense of community through artworks that are playful, accessible, and often unexpected. Inspired by the features of the hockey rink, Geller created a gathering space where people can watch performances and play games. When designing the artwork, the artist considered snow as an essential element and created the artwork to provide contrast and stand out on cold snowy winter nights. In fact, as the time of day, weather, and seasons change, the artwork is designed to respond to those changes. It may appear as a subtle infiltration in the landscape on a warm summer day and in the dark wintery evening as an intensely vivid splash of colour on the cold, snow-covered ground.
