The cylinders of different size were displayed in this way to show the ever-changing aspects of life, with the cylinders spread throughout the floor and onto the wall. However, only did looking back "did many come to understand the profoundly contemplative meaning of the installation that pondered the broken pieces of a person's life and the passerby which they ultimately come together at the center of all life." (Bianpoen. C., Wardani. F., Dirgantoro. W., p. 135).
