Genesis of form

Three basic tiling elements of the two dimensional plane can create three dimensionality. It is only the regular hexagon, the square and the equilateral triangle that can perfectly "tile the plane". These three elements are individually combined with the square to make a set of three single level, repeating geometrical tiling patterns. This patterning , if it is alternatively folded at the boundaries between the squares and the hexagons, in a concertina fashion, will allow the hithertoo, two dimensional pattern to become a three dimensional structure. The gain in height is proportional to the loss of surface area of base.

The Satkona Yantra

A new and yet again innovative matrix design utilizing triangles and squares allows the sculptor to create a mandala symbol called satkona yantra or sadkona yantra found on ancient South Indian Hindu temples built thousands of years ago. It symbolizes the Nara-Narayana, or perfect meditative state of balance achieved between Man and God, and if maintained, results in "Moksha," or "Nirvana" (release from the bounds of the earthly world and its material trappings).
A Yantra is meditational device used in Hindu and Tibetan Tantric meditation.
From the root "yam," meaning "to sustain," the Yantra is a symbolic image used to maintain a focused state during meditation. A Yantra is usually composed of an outer geometrical form enclosing an interior geometrical design. Each particular design is used for a specific purpose or intent.
Some of the basic elements of a Yantra are:
Ø The Bindu, or infinite point.
Ø Upward and downward facing triangles, symbolizing a female, watery energy, and male, fiery cosmic energy.
Ø A hexagram or six pointed star (satkona), symbolizing the union of Shiva and Shakti, masculine and feminine energy.
