  "summary": "The Flower of Life in polished gold: circles built up ring by ring, glowing at the crossings, turning, then folding away. Loops perfectly.",
  "description": "The Flower of Life in polished metal: nineteen identical circles, each passing through the centres of its neighbours, built up ring by ring from a single circle at the middle, shining at the crossings, turning slowly and then folding away again so the loop starts and ends on nothing. The circles are rings of metal at slightly different depths, so the flower has real body as the camera drifts. Choose the metal (gold, silver, rose gold or copper), how many rings of circles, how far the rings stand apart in depth, the thickness of the metal, the backdrop colour and whether the camera drifts.",
