what is the shape of things ?

Picture

so- im thinking about this installation and considering the shape of the maslows diagram......and what i want to stick with and leave out - what is relevant and what is not 
why a hierarchy? it isnt a symbol of unity but it is of individualism....or is it ? 

Picture
From the dictionary - a system in which members of an organization or society are ranked according to relative status or authority.
"the initiative was with those lower down in the hierarchy"
Similar: pecking order, ranking grading, ladder, social order, social stratum, social scale, class system
  • the clergy of the Catholic Church or of an episcopal Church.
    noun: the hierarchy
    "the Roman Catholic hierarchy in Romania"
  • the upper echelons of a hierarchical system.
    noun: the hierarchy
    "the magazine was read quite widely even by some of the hierarchy"
more thoughts -
​- a peak of heaven and a floor of hell ? 
a purpose or a struggle never to quite reach an un known void . a grounding base.
but what if it was on its side as a symbol to move forward - eyes face forward and what about that other space we dont see can that be a mirror image 
- what if the 
circumference​ or volume was a mirror of sorts  
ancient  pyramid a symbol of strength, long lasting, survival, of being long lasting  
why 3 equal sides ?

judgement is also connected to this in many ways 
the shape of the scales (a triangle)  and ones judgements we have on each other with too much or too little- whilst the chart is a nice chart and healthy for ones own idea to check where they are at is the triangle the right shape  - its good to look at it all ways to continue with my own design for the installation . i personally like the idea of the void and keep thinking about anish kappor work and infinity.
