A 4.5 meters high sculpture which takes the form of a mountain, inspired by a drawing by Joyce Seah, with a wind-activated figurine of a girl holding a flag with the words "I want to scale the highest mountain in the world".
There is a rock wall featuring 18 drawings of Singapore icons by youths, depicting some of Singapore's famous icons such as the Merlion, The Esplanade Theatres and HDB flats. The 'Emo-lightscape' was conceptualized by Mr. Kenneth Tan. It is an interactive "hop-scotch" tiles that will light up when stepped on. Another interesting installation is by Lui Honfay entitled "The Ribbon Seats".At the grand steps leading to the entrance of The Helix bridge, visitors can read a poem titled 'Lion Heart' by Amanda Chong.
