Comparison between the ‘philosopher’ and the installation art done by Christo and Jeanne Claude:

Christo likes to wrap existing things like car and tree with clothes or with other materials. They also allowed interactivity with the audience like the floating tiers allows people to walk on it. ‘Philosopher’ sculpture allows people to interpret the message behind the sculpture itself. It also reminds people every day that everyone is related to each other in terms of being teacher or philosopher and helps each other. The building of sculpture needs a lot of effort, time, energy to build it same as floating tiers built by Christo and Jeanne.
