Circular bronze artwork by Farhad O'Neill. It is one of three similar bronze pieces in the collection that derive from the artist’s interest in mnemonics. The pieces are inspired particularly by the writings of Matteo Ricci and his use of four Chinese ideograms, on which this series of sculptures are based.
