It addresses the notion of preserving beauty against the inevitability of decay, urging the subject to share their gifts with the world rather than hoard them. The imagery highlights the conflict between self-absorption and the flourishing of life, ultimately calling for a recognition of one's role in the broader tapestry of existence. The work serves as a poignant meditation on the consequences of selfishness.
