“Discovery” is a painted mural with 3-D relief installed in the cafeteria of Arc-en-ciel School. The work features children looking through magnifying glasses at ants and dandelions. According to Olka Art, the dandelion is a symbol of military children. It is also a symbol of the growth of hope, healing and happiness. Second are the ants, which represents hard work of persevering in order and cooperation. The artwork's rainbow colours reflect the diversity of the community and the spectrum of sexuality and gender.
