Familiar but dreamlike creatures greet the viewer as they explore the market. The artists combined fiberglass animals to create new magical creatures. A blue bear with horse hooves, antlers, and a cow tail sits at the table and waves hello. A badger duck on the table holds delicious pastries. The sculpture invites visitors to relax, socialize, and enjoy this third space. 

Visitors are welcome to sit and engage with the sculpture.
