Anish Kapoor and Plato's theories of sacred geometry both explore the relationship between art and the divine, and the role of geometric forms in representing higher metaphysical concepts. Kapoor's sculptures often use simple geometric shapes, such as spheres and cones, to create monumental and otherworldly forms that challenge our perception of space and scale. His use of reflective materials, such as polished stainless steel, creates a sense of infinity and transcendence that evokes spiritual and contemplative experiences. Similarly, Plato's philosophy of sacred geometry posits that geometric shapes, such as the circle, triangle, and square, represent abstract concepts and divine principles that underlie the physical world. According to Plato, these shapes are perfect and eternal, and are the building blocks of the universe. In Plato's "Timaeus," he describes the creation of the universe through the actions of a divine craftsman who uses geometric forms to fashion the physical world.
