The sculpture expresses the life cycle in our brief journey in this dimension. From the moment our cells begin to multiply in a hexahedron shape, the first three dimensional geometric shape, we board on a restless and constant searching for the evolution of our being. Geometry is the path to the awakening of consciousness. As all regular polyhedra are connected with each other, and these same shapes are the blueprint of the Universe, it shows the principle of oneness. The three dimensional mandalas, which are the visual representations of the Universe vibrations, are considered sacred symbols since the dawn of humanity. The oldest civilizations and religions shared the same principles: this knowledge and the healing power that these shapes have in the arrangement of the perfect symmetry of its proportions. The composition of the sculpture created by hexahedral crystals that follow the golden spiral with measures based on the proportions of the base, reflect the transformation/ evolution of our lives. We see the crystals passing for a polishing process during their growth, as we go to an internal process of evolution through countless experiences. Arising from the last and biggest hexahedral crystal we have a cuboctahedron named “The Vector Equilibrium” within an octahedron. It symbolizes the Light radiating in all directions in perfect symmetry. The cuboctahedron is the core of the combination between the hexahedron and the octahedron, thus creating a perfect harmony in the composition of the sculpture. Creating an imaginary hexahedron from the Octahedron vertices, we have the Tesseract or Hypercube, a four dimensional solid. In conclusion, the sculpture shows the expansion of Life from the base, a two dimensional plane to the higher dimensions where we are able to reach the full state of enlightenment shown by the multidimensional solids. Observing these forms lead us to a meditative state of contemplation, in a deeper state of mind. It also continuously reminds us that all is one. Hari Om Tat Sat.
