Leadership:
"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading." Lao Tzu
The perspectives emphasise the notion of direction. It is the choice most intimate to the observer and also integral to one's leadership in conflict.
Corruption:
"Stars, hide your fires! Let not light see my black and deep desires." Shakespeare, Macbeth
Light illuminates the hollowed shell of the two crosses. The perspectives as a result reveal the journey from once side to another through the abyss internal.
Isolated:
"The completely solitary self: that's where poetry comes from, and it gets isolated by crisis, and those crises are often very intimate also." Seamus Heaney
The centre is the folly's point of isolation. Surrounded by the hollowed shell of a once formed cube, these walls (a crisis) create in intimate barrier between the observer and the external. The perspectives as a result emphasise looking through these gaps as if the observer was to be looking in or out of the piece.
Reverence:
"Above all things, reverence yourself." Pythagoras
The single cross against the many represents the importance of the architect against society. The perspectives emphasise the structures strong horizontal lines.
Demand:
"Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will." Frederick Douglass
The perspectives consolidate the weight of one side against another; symbolic of the demand for one style of architecture over another through the epochs.
Unity
"Where there is Unity, there is always Victory." Publilius Syrus
The path of victory is like the strength of the joint uniting the two exterior crosses. As a result the perspectives rationalise this relationship and emphasise each part as integral to the process.
