Unlike a maze that forces decisions, in a labyrinth, the only choice is whether or not to turn back before reaching the conclusion, in this case, the center. Aside from the central pillar and open corner mark, this labyrinth is comprised of only one singular wall of varying heights.
Simple, distinct, and enduring, this collection is deeply geometric, centered, fractal or self-similar, symbolic, scalable and semi-symmetrical. Each piece in the Labyrinths Collection exhibits proportions that touch close to Phi, or the golden section, a mathematical ratio described as both the Divine Proportion, and the Ecstasy of Nature.
When 3-D designing with basic cubes on a limited plane, "Near-Phi" is as close to perfection as mathematics permits, and for this particular variation:
-The base-to-height ratio is ~ 1:0.617
-The open corner pillars are in near-Phi ratio.
-Some of the base-plate holes display the near-Phi ratios from the verticle axis.
The wall width to path ratio is ~1:3.
Considering the heavily near-Phi infused constitution of this design, and depending on the material chosen, subtle energy (or Chi/charge) may emanate from this art piece - with potential to be felt like "spiritual gravity."
Be drawn into these -Labyrinths Worth The Stare- for they're eternal concepts that shall stand the test of time.
