There are few figures seen scattered in the scene and each of them is minding their own business. They seem to be lonely thus living in the city. The Sri Petaling known as a happening suburb of Kuala Lumpur seems rather gloomy in the artist perspective. The usage of black and white floors could bring many symbolic meanings as it represents the duality of life, the light and dark or good and evil. Perhaps this surrealistic piece is an upside-down world of parallel universe.
