Thank you for showing me that the artist is a true intellectual and I am the idiot for not seeing the meaning of the piece.

Perhaps it's meant to convey that there is no innocence or evil, no right or wrong, just what is: the relativism that is reality. Or maybe I just need to adjust my monitor (and maybe there's a metaphor in that, too). Hmmmmm…to my eyes, the piece appears gray.

Or, the white is like a player--indiscriminating in collecting all colors/members of the opposite sex/or same sex--and camoflauging his/her lack of discretion with the cloak of purloined purity. How does the purity and white in this piece relate to a past review of another white object? (OK--couldn't resist--Becky, these art reviews are dead-on, satirical and brilliant).
