At the heart of the pavilion lies the existing reflective pool of Madison Square Park, its surface acting as a mirror that draws visitors into a dialogue with their own image. The water symbolizes both the fluidity of identity and the mythological setting where Narcissus first gazed upon his reflection. This tranquil water feature, surrounded by a circular, semi-enclosed structure, beckons passersby to approach and pause, encouraging personal introspection.
