The circle is a metaphor for transitoriness and the duality of life and death.  Combining this image with recycled materials addresses this metaphor, as well as our survival in an edgy world, where we find ourselves endlessly revisiting stops along the way.  Some artists use the circle to try to find the meaning of life….I just want to keep it going.
