The eight coloured cubes spell the word 'dyslexia' and are a play on children's building blocks. The age a child will play with them is usually too young for them to understand the symbols on them, and they will be too old to play with them once they do. The repeated etched words on the flooring, "This shouldn't be difficult", are the whispers that follow dyslexic children by well-meaning teachers or parents who cannot understand their frustrations.
