The underwater light formed in the shape of the hourglass represents eternity. The bottom of the hourglass, by the rocks and open shells, represents the past eternity. While the top of the hourglass, close to the surface, represents the future eternity. The golden cross covered with diamonds and gems in the middle of the hourglass represents the time and the truth. Five groups of dolphins represent five groups of people responding differently to the truth. One group swims away from it. The next one looks for the truth in the wrong place. The third group is distracting others from finding the truth. The fourth group of dolphins are being distracted and becomes the deceived spectators. The last group is bravely reaching right for the very truth at the bottom.
