The Wishing Well is a visualisation of the threat that humankind faces today in terms of climate change and the progress of industrialisation and exploitation of nature by which our resources are getting increasingly sparse. Not only are we as humans facing threats to our very existence, but also are we doing so together with all things living. The Wishing Well is a metaphor for hope. The lynx family in the barren landscape finds refuge and safety at the well as they listen to the sound of the wise owl that it is not yet too late for change to happen and the prospect of a future.
