Taking a glance at this piece of art makes a person wonders what is the designer trying to express or show. The overall shape of this piece of art is a block from a Tetris game which most of you know. Inside the art piece he is using similar shapes from that game and has them in like two groups. Also, if you noticed the colors of the bottom half of the block is different than the top half. The bottom half colors are dark and dull color. This could mean that they started with suffering and sadness in the beginning of life and as time got by happiness and joy came along with this being expressed with brighter colors. The empty spot in the middle shows the transition of between both feelings. Looking at the bottom half have less blocks then the top half. This means that the suffering and sadness wasn't for very long time or it wasn't very bad of suffering. Compare the bottom to the top which there is about twice the amount of the blocks and more closer to each other’s then the bottom ones. They’re even connected to each other’s more than the bottom half. This piece of art conducts ethic behavior.
