It contains larger-than-life religious statuary and vividly painted mandalas, which are circular, geometric images that represent the universe.
The bewildered visitor in the circular pathways, all senses assaulted, feels the universe grow more unfathomable by the minute.
Murayama has integrated technology and nature into a new artistic language associating biology with sacred geometry -- a view into an interconnected universe defined by dynamic and circular patterns.
Since Mirimanoff, Finsler and others, logicians have studied universes of set theory where circular sets exist.
Each passageway offers the experience of a different aspect of the universe: the square walkway deals with size, the circular ramp with time, the inside of the sphere with place.
