Octahedron - Air

Icosahedron - Water

Dodecahedron - Universe/Divinity

This work honors one set of classical building blocks: the five regular (Platonic) solids: the tetrahedron, the hexahedron (cube), the octahedron, the dodecahedron, and the icosahedron. Only these five shapes meet certain mathematical criteria. In addition to being beautiful in their simplicity, these solids have many layers of symbol and meaning. Their recognition as special solids pre-dates Greek civilization, and can be traced to Egypt. In the hands of the Greeks, they symbolized the essential elements of existence: fire, earth, air, water, and the universe/divinity.

Tetrahedron - Fire

Hexahedron - Earth
