Siebdruck's Society in Translation

The picture that most interested me when as I walked through the Siebdruck exhibit was the pictured titled "Society in Translation". It consisted of a white pyramid in the middle of the page surrounded by a dark background. The pyramid looked as if it was made of solid concrete and had many deep cracks on all sides. It is very simple, as is all his work, but if there is meaning behind it then I've only half figured it out. I think what Siebdrucks painting may be saying is that Society (the pyramid) is becoming more chaotic over time, as do all things in nature. The cracks in society will continue to widen until the pyramid crumbles and it turns to dust. If this is the case, I think his viewpoint is over pessimistic. I'm also curious why didn't he include the fact that people can rebuild things. The fact that Siebdruck uses a pyramid the symbolize society is interesting. Although we may view our societies as super complicated with many ins and outs and complications, it can also be simplified if you view it as the "bigger picture".If you forget about all the little policies and other things we do, you can realize its just what we humans do and how we survive.
