The metal ball and note came from a city-based artist who was behind the monolith. The letter appeared beside the reflective sphere, which is a little bigger than a cricket ball. The artist chose to stay anonymous. The note read, “… and so too has impermanence given us an opportunity for change. Change, we shall.”

“From 80-year-olds to 8-year-olds, the genuine curiosity and boundless enthusiasm you have shown has given me more than I could have asked for. I thank you for your attention, and I ask you to further direct it towards the natural beauty that lives all around us,” says the note.
