Colourful geometric panels and positive messages brighten the bamboo structure of the See Through pavilion, which designer and artist Morag Myerscough has installed in a park in London.
The pavilion, which straddles a path through Grosvenor Square, was created to uplift passersby and offer safe outdoor space for people to enjoy during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Myerscough's design responds to the impact of lockdown on the public and the resultant increase in people spending time outside and in nature.

"Our worlds have closed in and we have time to reflect and be engaged in our lives in very different ways," London-based Myerscough explained.
