This privately commissioned piece was a gift to the Hidden Valley Ashram Center in Escondido, California. A depiction of the Sanskrit character Aum (Om), the cosmic sound, representing in Eastern Traditions, that aspect of God, which upholds the universal structure of creation. The above photo's show the donated piece after its installation.

In designing this work, Paul studied the different meaning of the various sections of the character and incorporated his feeling, of their meaning in each section of the character, by varying their texture.
