Since the painting is about the # 8, there are 8 small panels. Many of the glyphs, words and symbols in this painting mean 8, in one language or another.
Top Row – Left to Right: An Octagon with the symbol for Uranus (the 8th planet out from the sun); a chess board has 8 rows across and 8 rows front to back; the 3 yellow glyphs are Tibetan for 8. The yellow octagon has the number 8 in various fonts and the tops of 8 fingers.
Bottom Row – Left to Right: The Octave and the 8-pointed star; eight spelled out on a panel filled with a variety of (language) glyphs; Words that mean 8 (octad, octet, octonary, ogdoad, octuplet, het, and a variety of pronunciations such as the Japanese yatu and tattsu) above a tile pattern using octahedrons, , 2; and an octahedron (an 8-sided polyhedron) in deep perspective with the house-shape created from the linear drawing of the Japanese glyph for 8.
