The project description states: "Anthony James’s work employs concepts of universality and transcendence to demonstrate their impossibility of reproduction. The icosahedral sculpture and the silhouette of the dome designed by Baroque architect Francesco Borromini for Sant’Ivo in Rome draw their primary inspiration from Plato’s historical cosmology.

The colorful neon light rings highlight the ancient concept of the universe as a set of concentric planetary orbits. This effect is both mysterious and industrial, both enigmatic and concrete.”
