When Peter famously asked "Quo Vadis?" meaning "Where are you going?" the man, who was none other than Christ, responded that he was walking to Rome to be crucified for a second time. There is also an ancient legend that when the apostle Peter fled from Rome's ruthless persecution of Christians at Nero's command, he met a man traveling towards Rome. Gagik Aroutiunian The Artist's Vision Statement In the process viewers are faced with making choices that are reflective of their life values." What is more important: Memory? Knowledge? Justice? Wealth? Compassion? Faith? Hope? Love? Health? Beauty? Happiness? Fate? Then, if viewers decide to balance the scale, they have to tackle the issue of the combination of values are, for example, "faith" and "compassion" in one tray equivalent to "happiness" and "love?" Or are "memory" and "justice" comparable to "hope" and "knowledge?" It is entirely up to viewers to select, mix, balance or leave unbalanced the values in any combination they wish.

In the process, they are forced to make choices about these values and to re-examine the relative importance they assign to them. Initially viewers have a choice of 12 values and are forced to think about each of them carefully and make a selection indicative of their priorities. Viewer-participants are invited to choose from the set of weights, inscribed with words that describe universal values, and to place them in the pans of the scale. It is a giant scale, with moving arms and weights on which are inscribed words in five languages: English, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew and Armenian.
