The use of circular motifs throughout the piece symbolizes eternity as the circle shape has no beginning and no end. The use of navigational symbols in the piece is a reminder that life is but a journey and the clock faces allude to the fact that we’re all here for only a limited time. The all-seeing eyes at the top of the piece are a sign of God’s watchful care over humanity.
