Planetary Tree

Black Hole (M-Spheres) is a reinterpretation of the Milky Way, which revolves around a gigantic black hole, and the latest concepts of the “multiverse.” Though made with everyday materials, this installation transforms into a mysterious “M-Sphere,” with “M” referring to mystery. In addition, Planetary Tree connects Earth and the heavens, and represents concepts such as the body of human knowledge and alchemy, probability theory in mathematics, cosmic rays in physics, evolutionary theory in biology, and the tree of life.
