About
A cosmic spire emerges from the playa, encircled by a courtyard and benches, creating a space for reflection and group exchange. The intricately carved etchings on the obelisk's wooden panels depict celestial and earthly motifs. By day, the obelisk is a striking silhouette against the desert backdrop, a reminder of our unique place within time and space. As night falls, the installation glows from within, symbolizing enlightenment. Marked by geometric harmony, it encourages one to consider their journey, to recognize their unique contributions to our collective story. It is a place to ground the self within the wide expanse of existence.
