Yeah I have a hard time finding any meaning in this one. White might represent the bleached existence that people want. There m & m s and drugs. A console controller. Maybe that represents the escapism people seek. Legos might be a person trying to piece together life but rather than piece it together they lay it out in rows because it's expected of them? And I have no fucking clue about the power bricks. They paced to face each other so maybe opposition.
It's all over the place though nothing really strikes a meaning or really does much to elicit a feeling. Good art has themes and makes you think. This just feels like bullshit, like someone was just throwing it together and hoping it was art or trying to submit something for a grade.
