The Medieval Latin term Quinta Essentia meaning ‘Fifth Essence’, denoted a fifth substance believed to exist in addition to the four elements, air, earth, fire and water. Medieval philosophers believed that this ‘Fifth Essence’ was the substance of which the celestial bodies were composed and that it was present in all things.
The logo design combines the elements of the sun, moon, air, earth, fire, water and the ‘Fifth Essence’.

The clay/earth combination from this spot was then compacted and shaped, it was then covered with a layer of moss to give the ‘living green’ appearance. Upon completion, a pond of the same length as Gaia was installed beside her, a resting place for the soul, complete with Koi carp and lotus plants.
