Intended to suggest the veiw of the earth from space.The sculpture consists of a large rotating,spherical glass ball,filled with deep blue fluid. As the ball spins the fluid displays flow patterns that suggest a stormy atmosphere.Veiwers rotate the ball by turning the wheel attached to the base. Even when the sculpture is left untouched the fluid continues to flow for many hours. I wonder what the fluid is and how did he fill the ball and seal it?
