Idea of the park takes form from the effect of flooding water coming back to riverbed. Area placed over the line of water remains unaffected. Below water leaves sand patches, lines of plants and some other things brought from the distance. All of that is facing the river. Greenery is mostly native, typical for woods growing along Vistula river. Some of them are however typical ornamental because you can find there a lot of allotment gardens. Flooding is gone, life is coming back and plants are once more beautiful and nice.

There is another meaning too. Just like a mirror. Going through it one can find Warsaw covered by war fires and destroyed. Today, on that ashes is flourishing town. Traces of the apocalypse remain only in peoples souls as the warning for future generations.
