Event Details

For aeons, the circle has been revered as a symbol of endless life and equilibrium. Pythagoras declared it a perfect shape and a symbol of 'Monad' - a divine, all-encompassing force.

Projected onto a mist of water from a series of jets, Monad floats as a 3D display mid-air. These awe-inspiring technics help conjure a sense of wonder at nature and the ongoing rhythm of the universe.

As a philosophical concept, Monad has been widely influential – it was adapted from Greek philosophy by some of the great thinkers of the modern era and had held multiple meanings for humanity for centuries. This work brings the concept into 2023, creating a moment of stillness and reflection for us to ponder the bigger picture we’re all part of.
