In 1996, De Wit applied for the commission to design a statue in Bemmel. He had kept contact with landscape architect Ad Koolen following their collaboration in ‘Square Island in the Lake’. He asked Koolen to consider a more extensive plan that just one statue. They spent a few days together sketching the details of an entirely new square with statues. Their plans were approved including the realization of the square itself. The design included six small steel tables, placed in different locations on the square. Each table had four mirrored brass blocks balanced on each table corner. The statues were designed so that the table reflected the sun in the direction of the nearby castle.

Koolen and de Wit also wanted to awaken the direction of the historical dike that ran through Bemmel. They accomplished this by placing steel plates at a 90 degree angle at one height, creating a visible reminder of where the dike once ran.
