This model was inspired and designed during my trip to California. In Los Angeles, I visited the beautiful Griffith Observatory, during this visit, one can observe the beautiful landscape of Los Angeles but also, learn a little more about our solar system, how it works and the history surrounding the research and development in the field of astronomy. This model was inspired by the appearance of the constellations and their shapes that are frozen in time. You will find in this model triangles and diamonds as well as connections between the same color that represents a continuous cycle in a system.
