Final ALevel exam piece. ...A surreal portrait of the UK education system, which becomes every day less about learning, and more about ticking the right boxes whilst playing the game (symbolised here through chess). In any industry, the further up the ladder the management, the more removed from its purpose. This goes all the way up to the concept of God, symbolised by the downward direction of light which kills the protagonist. The painting becomes, therefore, about the wider subject of depression, suppression and oppression imposed by a deadly mix of incompetence and power. The butterflies, for example, represent the freedom of the human soul escaping, but it cannot survive for long out in the physical world, and so falls anonymously back into the sands of time.
