New Approach to Still Life

So my painting Professor, in his continuing attempts to change our perspectives on art, has decided that our view of still life is too limited. We think too narrowly of it, not giving the genre the love it deserves. His response to our close minded thoughts is to force us to create a narrative within our still life that is of significant personal meaning. Mine has many meanings, I hope you find a few of your own.

Just started this last night. Very early stages, only two colors on the canvas at this point.
