Mine would definitely be on the Japanese kofuns — they're these giant keyhole-looking tombs that are like hundreds of miles long, built supposedly for the emperor.

Sacred geometry in the power of architecture. How it can influence our planet, and how we're using sacred geometry in our everyday [lives], and how we can pretty much use it in every artform, but being aware of that.
How do you describe sacred geometry?
It's really the patterns of life and the universe that connect math, science, nature, history, religion and spirituality all in one. Like the Fibonacci sequence, flower of life, seed of life — it is all connecting us.
