This is assignment I made for DIM1 course. The teacher asked me to choose one picture, make a little change and then put it on a T-shirt. The original image that I chose doesn't have a shadow on the foundation of the house. First, I looked at the picture carefully and I thought of its possible meaning. After that, based on that meaning, I added several elements to strengthen the meaning.
In life, people usually want to satisfy themselves and try to reach their ambition by any methods. Those who are sunk in ambition will be also punished and wretched by their dreams. This is the reason why I name the picture CAUSALITY which means the principle of cause and effect. The girl is imprisoned at the corner of the wall is the effect of her action which is painting the floor. She is absorbed in painting without saving a place to out. It connotes the ambition of people isolating themselves in a black area where they lose their humanity. In the picture, the girl wants to call somebody for help, but it is impossible. No one can rescue her, except herself. If she wants to go out, there is only way which is she has to step down the red floor which she has just painted. This thing will destroy all the accomplishment that she has tried to do because the floor is still wet. Similarly, it signifies that if people want to escape from all the painfulness, they must give up their aspiration. In this picture, only one place which can give the girl a hope to go out is the little blank where she is sitting. This is only place which has not been painted. At this place, she has time to think about her self. The shadow of the girl is a reflection of all the actions in her mind.
I choose the bright green color for the T-shirt to represent a hope. At the time people think about themselves, they will also have chance to create a way to escape.
The text “CAUSALITY” is in a simple font which is very suitable for the meaning of this picture. The stroke is bright red which connotes the cause, which is shown in the picture through the red floor. The text is filled with dark red which is fairly similar to the shadow of the girl in the picture.

A first thing I have noticed is your picture. Actually, it couldn't attract my view; because the picture is not big enough as well as to see clearly.
However, to figure out what are the deep meanings also the metaphors of this img. I tried to read all your explanations( although it's quite long (^-^) ).
Yes, u're right about the people who have lots of ambition; these will make their views and also their perceptions are being narrowed.
Cheer, u have successfully created the good "meaningful" Picture.
thanx, hehe
