The poster's hand is twisted, deformed and contrasting, the twisted fingers fighting to move upwards, the lower hand clinging to the upper hand in a vicious obstruction. This upward gesture may be for profit, or for status, or perhaps it is something that people compete for in this society. The exaggerated and hideous middle finger indicates a critique and rejection of the involution of society.

The black and white hands and the dreary background suggest that this kind of twisting and turning is not destined for the future. It tells people that this is not a healthy competition, that this is internal conflict.
