Explanation of the piece.

The guy represents all young people ready to make their mark on the world right after they graduate.

The cracks and clay colour represent how fragile people are like a terracotta pot.
Its only so much pressure it can take.

The blue liquid represents potential ideas that now have been wasted.

The blade has an angel wing representing people in authority.

The hand is robotic because these people higher up are following a system. The reason why the hand is broken is to show that the system isn't perfect!

And the background is black because we live in a bleek world or I just got lazy and couldn't be bothered with it ;p

Nice attempt at the social comment. Might include in future a machine that's busted to symbolize the lost work force. I know how this feels to have been there post graduation from college. Stayed there for about 2yrs. Seems good enough to show that. Love the use of the space. The serpent showing up represents how the ideas of the now idle soon turn to crime as there is nothing else and despiration sets in with the growing realization of the ever engulfing student loan debt that looms like a bleak buzzard in the high sky turning all black and grim.
