Plato argues that the soul is composed of three parts, the appetitive, the rational, and the spirited. These three parts of the soul also correspond to the three classes of a just society. Individual justice consists in maintaining these three parts in the correct balance, where reason, aided by spirit rules, and appetite obeys.

I like Plato's concept of the soul having three parts—the appetite, the rational and spirited.
Your composition is intriguing. I'm curious about the faces that form the circle. Do they represent any particular part of Plato's soul theory? Perhaps the appetite? They almost look like they are longing for something.
