A large metal sphere was created using a mixture of pentagons and hexagons. The faces were covered with many rusty, welded-together hands.

A hand-painted, cardboard sign was wrap-tied to a metal barricade. That sign read, "The Inner Sun.org, What's your Inner Sun?"

Each of the rusted, welded-together metal hands had laser etched into it one answer for the question, "What's your Inner Sun?"

Answers to the question, "What's your Inner Sun?" varied. One read, "People." Whereas another read, "My teenager daughter and her happiness." There were even a few written in idiographic languages.

Another section of the sphere had answers such as: "Nature and the Elements," and "Love," and "The Moment Is Exactly What It Needs To Be."

A medium view of one of the hexagonal faces with new construction beyond it. From further away, the answer became harder to read. "Musical Solitude," and ""Projects And Beer."
