Symbolism

I’m passionate about symbolism.
I was wondering: in New York City there are a black cube and the statue of Prometheus.
Is there a connection between these two symbols?

Prometheus the Greek god (Titan) of fire is chained to a rock for eternity, where his liver is eaten daily by an eagle, only to be regenerated by night, due to his immortality. The eagle is a symbol of Zeus himself. Years later, the Greek hero Heracles slays the eagle and frees Prometheus from his torment.

The black cube could be symbolic of the darkened universe and regeneration where Prometheus is reborn or transformed back to health.
