Elements to Light Your Way,"
and "Reflected Elements" are two large interactive
art installations similar to "Dance of the Labyrinth,"
which use the symbols of the spiral and labyrinth as
a metaphor for life's journey. These back-lit works
contain photo images in light boxes designed to be walked
while incorporating kinetic photo art: pillars and wheels
that turn. 
In "Elements
to Light Your Way,"
(20" x 20" x 6') the participant walks on a light glass
spiral which leads to a central octagon shaped enclosure.
Facing him within the "meditation center"
he views four "Pillars of Light" and sees
four surrounding "Wheels of Light" which represent
the elements of earth, air, fire, and water.
"Reflected
Elements" contains
an octagon center with sixteen 8' x 2' mirrors and four
pillars of light. The visitor is invited to "reflect"
on his life as his image repeats and merges
many times with those in the pillars. He may also turn
the surrounding "Wheels of Light" as the photo
images with Japanese papers superimpose through chaos
and order, darkness and light.
