Jump On In! (But Not Really...)
This time I decided to view some street art, and this particular image struck me as incredibly interesting. As seen in the linked picture, the image is an art work painted onto the ground with a 3-D atmosphere. As for the story it is trying to tell, I cannot wrap my head around it, but that is part of the beauty I see in this work. Because I am a programmer, I always tend to look for the logic in everything, and sometimes that ruins me when something is not intended to be logical (there may be in this piece, but I do not know what it is). It appears to be an old woman trying to fix her television while eating an egg, wearing what appears to be the top half of an egg shell. If that were not enough, there is a giant cup of coffee with what appears to be a man reading a newspaper inside of it (perhaps frustrated with the broken television). Also pictured is a cross (indicating a religious aspect), some animals, a tank, and something I cannot quite make out on the leg of the table. All of these mentioned images are heading towards the "top" of the hole, perhaps resembling they are trying to get out of the hole they have fallen into since the invention of television. What I feel is the most powerful part of this particular image is not even in the image itself, but rather the fence around it, intended to keep passerbys from "falling in".
