GYA
Gya is not just a beautiful art piece, or a sustainable version of the Lava Lamp.
Gya calls upon us to contemplate the Living Planet - also known as Vita or Gaia - and the great circulating currents: the ocean gyres.

About the Gya
Gya is an art piece that seeks to put into practice elements of Vita spiritual philosophy.
The electric motor and bearings used in the device are rated last 100,000 hours, that's 11.6 years if operated 24 hours a day.
The assembly that houses the electronics and the motor are 3D printed from PETG, a fully recyclable plastic.
The vase is made of glass, and the base is camphor laurel, a weed tree common to Australia.
Gya draws 2.6 watts of electricity. At $0.25 per unit of electricity, it costs about $5.70 per annum to power Gya.
