Park’s sculpture gives us a lot to chew on through its depiction of celestial objects and the Dome of the Rock (a site holy to the three monotheistic Abrahamic religions), its use of architectural motifs and stonework, and the appearance of a plumb bob, a device that has been used since ancient times to insure proper vertical relationships during construction.
