In this piece there are many boxes of varying sizes and colors spread through out the body of work. There is a concentration in the bottom right corner of larger sized squares. In the far bottom right is a strip of boxes with varying colors, from there black boxes radiate out, decreasing in size. They are in somewhat of a pattern but vary and differ a little, breaking the trend.

The artist of this piece was trying to convey a sense of nonconformity. The boxes in the the top half are of relatively the same size and shape and are all of the same color. The lower half of this piece is made up of boxes of varying sizes and colors, with the largest and most colorful boxev being exiled to corner away from the similar boxes.

The composition and values of this piece are overall very compelling and convey the message very well. The artist was able to easily convey his thoughts and emotions without making the piece to hard to understand and comprehend. This artist seems like he knows what he wants to accomplish and knows how to, yet his work is not tired or overused.
