"This interactive sculpture is reminiscent of Buddhist prayer
wheels in Tibet. Prayer wheels create a prayer of compassion
when they are spun. The five colors of the Leds and the orientation borrow from feng-shui and strive to represent harmony. The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical
and spiritual traditions, calling us to treat all others as we wish
to be treated ourselves."
