SOLSTICE
The mandala in the center of the sculpture speaks of our individual journey to wholeness. The black half-circle with its square like opening represents the world into which we are born -- a world made of opposites. Heat and cold, pleasure and pain, male and female, life and death, joy and sorrow -- these polarities seem to characterize our experience on the Earth plane. Traveling toward the center we find an opaque glass circle, the universal symbol of wholeness and Self-Realization. The circle is also the symbol of the Unmanifested, the Source of All That Is. In the very center of the mandala rests a translucent turquoise agate in the shape of the inverted triangle, ancient symbol of the Sacred Feminine -- the creative womb of the Universe. From this inner chamber flows a stream of crystal clear water, cascading gently over translucent turquoise glass. Like all the sculptures in the series, this sculpture is illuminated from within.
