Clear Light Koan embodies the relationship between the material and the immaterial. An apparently solid cone is layered with emptiness.

Each line describes the form of the cone at the precise points at which it dissects it. Since the cone turns and the viewer remains static, the viewer is given this information in a continuous flow, unlike an object around which the viewer would have to walk, and where the viewer's perceptions are discontinuous.
