When I first looked at this picture, my eyes immediately focused on the red face of the cube. By focusing on artistic techniques, one can see how the artist used the edges of the red part of the cube along with small white diagonal lines coming from the missing puzzle piece in the red part of the cube to lead viewers to the sphere in a downward motion.
The sphere reminds me of a bomb waiting to explode when there are too many puzzle pieces in it. If the bomb explodes, then people will lose all sense of understanding. It is already about the size of the cube with many puzzle pieces still left to fill the bomb. As puzzle pieces continue to fall into the bomb, people lack understanding. The question marks at the base of the of the structure show that we must ask questions in order to create understanding which would bring the pieces of the puzzle together creating equilibrium.
