This piece is trying to put across the idea of routine and breaking out of it. The use of the monkey reinforces the idea that everyone is the same and following this same thing day in and day out. The use of the subway in the image is also well done as it talks about working and commuting. It does all this by being very metaphorical in what it is conveying.
The pencil part of the image is the main part of the whole piece. This part of the image is the metaphor which is the most central part of the image and the artist wants to draw your attention to it and convey across the meaning of no more routine. The artist even uses the words 'No More Routine' in order to get the meaning that he wants to convey across to his audience. This helps people who do not have a very wide area of experience in art to still understand the full meaning that he wishes to convey. Anyone with experience in artwork would still be able to understand what the image was trying to convey without those words.
The emotions that the artist is trying to convey within the image is such a common emotion that has been clearly felt from past experiences or even an emotion that he felt at the time of creating the piece of artwork. The emotion is very commonplace and is felt by not just the artist but by many others on a daily basis which makes it a lot easier for the audience to understand the message. The common saying of "break free" is the metaphor being used and the image of the money dashing out the subway car with the banana and suit which symbolises the daily routine of work and eating. The idea of breaking free, which the image shows, is the feeling that we all get when we wish to just break free, to just run when we are being laden with daily routine. This again helps the audience understand the emotion that the artist is trying to show as the artist has given us a common emotion in his piece of art.
