Nature

Everything that exists is nature. This is because even an object such as a car was built using materials found in nature and it will eventually disintegrate and will be used by some organism to become part of life. As it relates to the project, the nature is the site and the people who occupy it. Dead or alive – everything present there is nature. A dead tree at least is as much full of live as is a live one.

ART

Art is freedom. Freedom to express our feelings in a form that is more closely related to how we feel. Language is not something that everyone could use to easily express emotions. Art is something that we can all use to do that. Art is also experimentation, it is a search for meaning. In the project, art is a form of meditation and a way to find our own center. To many, it will start as experimentation, like learning to walk, but it could teach us to fly.

Contemplation

Contemplation is meditation. It is a way to for us to hear ourselves. It is a way of listening and hearing ourselves through others. Smelling the flowers. Observing ourselves by observing nature.  Thinking about one thing at the time and avoiding disruption.

Leadership

Leading by example. Teaching. Immense drive and relentless obsession. Experience. Talk softly, but carry a big stick. In the project, it is leading without having any followers.  Inventing the path as you go.

Order

Order is the hierarchy. It is the invisible and silent rhythm. The order could be dynamic and static at the same time. Like a floating iceberg. In the project, it is procession and it is the specific order of experiences.

Unity

The unity is when different parts make up a whole, while preserving their identity.  In project, it is people of different religions and non-religions come together and become one with nature and each other. Their unique experiences enhance the intensity of the whole. The people, their things, their dwellings, their neighborhoods, their cities within walking distance, their city within driving distance, the neighboring cities, the state or province, country, neighboring countries, their continent (or island), the neighboring continent (islands),
