For this Korean artist, the refraction of light by this crystal representation of the temple is symbolic of temple experiences for members of the Church. He also said that the crystal material suggests a “taste of eternity because of its colorless brilliance, refined light, and its clear ringing sound. Above all the temple is remarkable for its cleanliness and refinement.”
