The smashing and sabotage of a momentum (thwarted): the yellow band of light reads as an originally powerful, purposeful impulse — a political initiative, a hope, a planned departure. That undertaking is completely blocked by the oppressive, omnipresent red mass — the system, or collective resistance — and broken into fragments. The picture translates the feeling of acute frustration, of sabotage, of abrupt failure. The light is not permitted to take on any compact form; it is thwarted in its red surroundings and turned into a glittering stream of debris drifting downward.
