Its 108 stone seats correspond to points in the Andromeda constellation. When seen from above, each seat forms the shape of an eight-pointed star.

The 108 cubes represent the stars of the galaxy. It's an invitation to take a seat in the universe and find balance in a system made of light and energy.
