QUADRIVIUM is an exploration of the ancient study of arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and sound – elements believed to be essential to understanding the universe. Inspired by the Great Pyramid of Khufu, Chris Levine’s artwork integrates sacred geometry and astronomical ratios, reimagining these principles through contemporary art. The sculpture consists of two dichroic glass discs and a copper disc, sized according to the diameters of the Earth and Moon. These elements, anchored by a steel pole, interact with light to refract the sun’s rays, casting elliptical patterns on the ground. The base, crafted from locally sourced granite and limestone, echoes the materials of the Great Pyramid, grounding the work in both history and place. A crystallised water sphere and a copper coil enhance the piece’s connection to spiritual and etheric forces, emphasising the interplay between physical and spiritual energies.

QUADRIVIUM seeks to unite the spiritual and mathematical, celebrating the profound wisdom of the ancient Egyptians. Through this work, Levine’s aim is to honour their mastery and invite reflection on the universal truths encoded within the Giza Plateau, one of the most sacred sites on Earth.
