The artwork depicts a layout of an elite suburban community, where a hand with tweezers carefully arranges figurines of people. This image can be seen as a symbol of fate or providence. The hand picking up the figurines can be interpreted as an intervention in the circle of life, altering its course, or conversely,
as the caring placement of elements within this circle. The question of whether the hand removes the figurines from life or places them there remains open, allowing the viewer to independently find an answer within this metaphor.
