What Does This Image Mean?





There's a story that when Dadaist artist Jean Arp (if I recall correctly) was asked what one of his works meant, he simply recited the alphabet back to the questioner.  The meaning wasn't for him to tell, but for you to figure out for yourself.

Lately, I've had a real run of interest in surrealist images, just because it amuses me.  This, from work today, struck me as being in that vein ...



Secondary note: It's a digital image (shot on a Nikon D80 with a 17-55mm zoom lens), and it is clearly such.  Electronics look so ... electronic when shot on electronics.  This would have a whole different texture, and perhaps a whole different feeling, shot on film with the Leica.  Is that important?
