the first thing comes to mind is, light traveling infinitely, in a single direction. it is infinite in that regard, since a line is infinite in one direction.
but because it is in one direction, and not in others, it is finite. hence, there is a paradox there.
so, it represents infinity, since it infinitely travels, and it also contrasts it, because it is limited in one direction.
