The sphere looks taller than the cubes.

Perhaps it's a mouldable material like clay to be re-shaped, or hard but to be cut down to a cube on-site.

the smaller ones are further away

But close to the waist height of the people pushing them.

The sphere is closer to shoulder height.

the first three people are the same distance away, suspended in the air, with their hands out

the cubes are behind them

it's a clever trompe l'oeil

the meaning is: work smarter (by creating an optical illusion) not harder (by pushing a shape)
