Systemic encirclement and manipulation (seduction): the centred, isolated field of blue works as a single rational fixed point — the individual, or objectivity — inexorably enclosed and pressed upon by an emotionally charged, loud, insistent mass: the red of political agitation and dynamism. The picture translates the feeling of being subtly courted, co-opted, slowly isolated. The cool, self-contained structure at the centre loses its connection to the wide, light space outside (the white above) and is thoroughly seduced and enclosed by the thermal force of its red surroundings.
