These symbolic tesserae pieces, each consisting of a unique ingredient - sandstone, symbolizing Far East or South Asian heritage; alabaster stone representing European (Greek and Roma style) heritage, and granite, symbolizing African indigenous roots – together they create a triadic mosaic of essential, equal components of a unified whole. They would also presume the meaning of philosophical ingredients of a civilization, although none of them standing alone could ever represent the entire diversity of the human race. This is where "et cetera" becomes profound. This suggests an open system of identity - not bound by binaries or fixed categories. Motion and direction of the cubes signify the Presence and the Absence.
