The Obelisk

I designed an obelisk and its uprighting ritual. Its outer form does not match its inner centre of balance, and thus finds an unexpected equilibrium. Leaving artifacts of its material on the ground below, the obelisk follows a spirular path to its equilibrium.

The scale model was cast from concrete.
