Reflects humanities potential through papers many uses/qualities (and also generations)
+in the past ,there was more meaning to humanity shown by the paper lasting (and being significanct e.g.history) -however in present we are yet to use this potential as humanity is presented as shallow/ disposable.

Present- paper emits light :meaning it has potential and just needs to use it/ express it.

Present:(Brick/Block): society is ridged and limited in potential- its shallowness is shown through simple/linear building methods: doesn’t explore potential/nothing special can be made with this.
Past:(Grand design) An allusion to God/Divinity! -is a reference to how present could be/ could remake the world into something divine with the right liberation. -but we are not fulfilling our potential.
