Summary:

With the help of modern technology, I was finally able to solve this 3D geometric puzzle. To ensure mathematical/geometric accuracy and precision, this model was assembled using Computer Aided Design software, also known as CAD. It was then animated using 3D animation software where I added lighting, background, materials, environment and motion. This 3D model evolved from primitive geometric solids according to Archemedean/Pathagorean geometry. Like a hidden puzzle buried in time, waiting to be assembled, technology has provided the necessary tools for me to configure and make possible this new platonic form.

This art-deco model can be assembled like a 3D puzzle made up of several parts. Once assembled, the model can then be displayed and rotated on its center axis, using perpetual motion to spin. Currently, I am working on a grant proposal to build a large-scale public art sculpture based on this concept. My future goal is to create a functional, environment friendly, perpetual sculpture that incorporates solar technology into its unique design features.

My goal now is to form a viable commercial venture with the right company/business to help me test, market, manufacture and distribute this 3D geometric puzzle to a global audience.
