This light-filled "space" is designed to provide healing energy. As waiting patients contemplate the orb sculpture, they visually wander into the lighter marble shapes discovering that the inner core creates the image of a family group. Continuing to explore they will also notice the subtle inscribed shapes of earth's geography on the bronze surface.

Next, being drawn into the metallic / translucent background leaves the viewer stumbles into subtle images of people as they mysteriously emerge from sparkling haze -- most of whom are actually employees and patients of the health center. Noticing all the ethnic diversity in this cloud of humanity invites the viewer to explore the concept.

And there is plenty of concept: The family is metaphorically at the center of the world - even the glow of the blue sky seems to emanate from the inner core of the sphere. Then, sprouting from this seed, the leaves unite our differences like connective tissues of an ultimate family tree. A natural progression from this idea is that humanity is really a large global family: that all men and women of the Earth are brothers and sisters.
