Prayer Wheel
2002
17 x 12 x 12 inches

An ancient mantra, “Om Mani Padme Hum” is written in Sanskrit on the swinging canopy atop this little sculpture.

Three copper bowls create electricity to power this Prayer Wheel. Each bowl contains a zinc plate submerged in an electrolyte of ocean water. As the metals corrode, the prayer spins heavenward.
