The Perfection "Sabaght" is a form of work or complete and integrated action, and it is intended entirely for the thing to perform the function for which it was made in the right way and for its elements to work in harmony, through the estimation in the narrative, which is the process of engineering and calculation in order to reach a complete work.

Al-Salem was inspired by the verse (Make full coats of mail and calculate [precisely] the links, and work [all of you] righteousness), which forms every circle in the sculpture, which intersects with his way of thinking towards his works, as his works seek to explain the order in nature through the scene of the circle, which appears frequently in his works. It is the ideal representation of completion. It is an endless, balanced line, and is often a symbol of unity and eternity. When reviewing the heritage of knowledge over the centuries, we find that the circle has been present in almost every innovation in engineering, technology and industry. It is a vital part of human progress towards abundance and wealth.
