Monad unites the elements of life: fire, air, water, and earth and presents a circle as a symbol of time, the perpetual motion of the universe. 

 

For aeons, the circle has been revered as a symbol of endless life and equilibrium.

Pythagoras called the circle ‘monad’,  the most perfect of creative forms, without beginning or end. The whole, the infinite, the eternal, the unified. Seen as a halo, an element of spirit, the circle unites the elements of life: fire, air, water, and earth and becomes a symbol of time, the perpetual motion of life. 

 

Birth, life, death and rebirth – the giant rhythm of the universe.

Projected onto a mist of water, Monad floats as a 3D display mid-air. These awe-inspiring techniques help conjure a sense of wonder and create a moment of inspiration and reflection about life and our chance for a new beginning.
