The Spiral Jetty
Holism(anthropological):
"Holism is the perspective on the human condition that assumes that mind, body, individuals, society, and the environment interpenetrate, and even define one another.

From a holistic perspective, attempts to divide reality into mind and matter isolate and pin down certain aspects of a process that, by very nature, resists isolation and dissection. Holism holds great appeal for those who seek a theory of human nature that is rich enough to do justice to its complex subject matter."

“Tough to choose one piece as I have endless recommendations, but something has always called to me about The Spiral Jetty; its theme, materials, location, and humble presence.
