QuintessenceKnown as quinta essentia in medieval latin, the dodecahedron and its accompanying objects and sounds serve to represent the intrinsic beauties of geometry. The fifth of the platonic solids, the dodecahedron is held by some to represent the universe as a whole, while the four other solids serve as the primal elements of creation. Playing on the idea of nested universes, multiple dodecahedrons exist in the space representing a universe we can travel into, a universe we can peer into, and a universe we can control.
