As a child faces the open world, it is confronted with multiple societal influences, both possitive a negative. The child, symbolized by the babyjar, has an innocent and clean beginning, as represented by the blossoming flowers, that can be "trimmed" by society's influencial aspects to "grow" however civilization deems suitable. The keys on the jar show how important this new exposure to the world is to a child because children are the keys to a better future, so society must be careful with what it puts forth that will develop the child's ideas and mindset. The chain with the chess board represents the life of the child and the choices and decissions the child must make to accomplish their goals, like in a chess game. Their life, however, is hindered by the pressure and constraint of time, depicted by the lock and stop watch, and they must work around the limmitations of age to reach their goals before their time in life runs out. On the child's left are the influences of society that lead to ultimate happiness while the right side represents the choices that will lead to a downward spiral. The real importances in life that will lead to joy and inner peace are closeness to nature (as shown by the tree and flowers), keeping a healthy life (represented by the "drug free" buton), and keeping at peace with the soul (symbolized by the trinity of green stones hanging in the background). The tree produces a golden pinecone, representing that being attached to nature will produce happiness through inspiring emotions and beauty. The button claims "real heroes are drug free" showing that a person can be great without the use of drugs to inspire false feelings to make them impure. The trinity of stones is high up, symbolizung that closeness to the soul will set you free and will bring up your spirits in a healthy and pure way. The white chess piece represents the good, winning choice as he is lead through these possitive influences by a gaurdian figure (the angel pendent). This implicates that to make the right decissions in life, a child must be lead through the world by someone with experience and wisdom gained by living themselves. The child faces the negative influences of society on the right side. The glitter represents the glamour that masks the bad influences in civilization and the high that drugs will give. Although the glitter creates beauty, like the halucinations drugs create, it is tainted by the red stones symbolizing the evil and impurity the drugs bring. The beer cap and the wine stopper depict the negative influence of alcohal in society. The bits of green glass show the brokeness and pain the life will ending up leading you to as you enter a downward spiral (symbolized by the bracelet). The black chess piece is the character that got sucked into the downward spiral that ruined his life and ultimately brought him depression.
