Their flight path can reconnect private backyards, balconies, offices, berms, and public spaces into one collective social sculpture.&nbsp;The Park's growth was mapped online&nbsp;through a collective line-drawing. The heart of The Park was located in the centre of Auckland City, in Victoria Park, which housed 6 beehives over a hexagonal Pasture Painting. The artwork created moments of wilderness across the city and provided a form to mobilise, practice caring and a means to visialise empathy.
