The mosaic affect--almost a daisy--reflects the need to break out of the pre-molded prescribed shape of the original lenses and asserts some individuality. Plus, the shapes echo the mottled paved surface--and one little piece above the upper right has ventured out beyond the frame into the brave, new (and perhaps terrifying) world.

Hers was not merely the life of a Pollyanna, for surely then her lenses would have been rose-colored to reflect her naivete. No, hers was the life of the blind, the unquestioning, the blissfully (and perhaps intentionally) ignorant. But no more. She has cast off her blinders--even crushed them--and now sees the light.
