- Representation: The split forms reflect the way the world is divided by war. The cut-out void in the spherical shapes symbolizes the part of the world that is lost when war takes place. The constantly moving waterfall also symbolizes the turmoil of war yet represents the unifying factor to bring people together - a message from the past together with a message for the future.
