Form: the seeds are displayed in a way that gives the installation height, width, and depth, rather than being flat.
Texture: (originally) the work was installed so that the audience could walk across the seeds, which would result in a texture change from the smoothness of the whole seeds to the sharpness of the crushed seeds.
Color: the colored industrial paint stands out against the dark, chalky appearance of the ancient vases.
Balance: the varying sizes of the vases gives the work an asymmetrical balance that allows the eye to move smoothly through the vases.
