''Samsara', Sanskrit for life cycle, embodies Hindu ideology and numerology through ice and flowers. This ephemeral sculpture represents Purushartha - the four aims of life in Hinduism:

Dharma (Righteousness) - Jasmine

Artha (Prosperity) - Orchid

Kama (Enjoyment) - Rose

Moksha (Enlightenment) - Lotus

Twenty-eight hexagonal ice pyramids, symbolizing the human mind and seven lives before enlightenment, contain these flower petals. As the ice melts, the petals remain - a metaphor for memories left behind after death, fading with time.
