As the figure hurls the earth down the alley, there is a tragic sense of what it feels like when we change our lives in a radical way; as if our world has been thrown off its axis. Perhaps it is also expressing a doubt concerning “who is in charge” of our life, of life itself, of our world, the state of our existence. When our world is so utterly thrown,it can feel like someone is a playing a cosmic game with us (with humanity and civilization).
