The Seven Pillars of Humanity

The Seven Pillars of Humanity is a powerful series of stained glass panels, created as the thesis window for the Sphere of Light. Each panel represents a core value that reflects the best of what it means to be human: Knowledge, Creativity, Faith, Love, Unity, Freedom, and Courage.

These panels are more than just art—they’re a visual manifesto of our shared potential. As the Foundation’s thesis window, the Seven Pillars set the tone for the much larger Sphere of Light installation: a monumental, 10,000-square-foot structure that will celebrate the journey and dignity of humankind through glass and light.

Each pillar serves as a central theme, branching into sub-values that will appear throughout the Sphere. For example, Love will be expressed through charity, empathy, and kindness, while Courage will include strength, endurance, and vigilance. Together, these layers form a deeply interconnected story of human character.

Over the past few years, the Seven Pillars have traveled far and wide, sparking dialogue and unity wherever they’ve gone. Some of the places they've exhibited in includes Washington D.C., New Orleans, Dallas, the Utah State Capitol, and serving as powerful symbols of interfaith harmony and shared human dignity. These windows have created spaces where people of all backgrounds—regardless of religion, nationality, or worldview—can find common ground and a sense of belonging.

The impact of these windows goes beyond their beauty. They invite us to reflect on who we are, what we value, and how we relate to one another. They remind us that, at our best, humanity is capable of profound love, courageous action, creative problem-solving, and unshakable hope in something greater—whether that’s a higher power, a future generation, or the human spirit itself.

The Seven Pillars are currently on display at Holdman Studios. To experience these windows in person and learn more about the vision behind the Sphere of Light, you can schedule one HERE
