An Obelisk is a tall four-sided pillar of stone that narrows to a pyramid shape on top. It is often representative  a marker outlining a particular area such as a sacred space. It's strong directional shape represents the connectivity between the earth and the sky or sun.  Today it symbolizes our instinctive reach for the unknown.
