Mercury is a kinetic sculpture featuring a piece of volcanic rock mounted on a steel rod, actuated by a DC motor beneath.

As the rock spins, it intermittently strikes a chime tuned to the frequency of the planet Mercury. Within the context of astrology, Mercury is associated with communication and intellect, infusing the piece with symbolic resonance.
