When popular culture is represented by Cesare wearing sunglasses and Cesare is consuming popular culture, does that mean that Cesare is eating Cesare in the end? And will the sunglasses be digested as well in the process? Is this the neverending cycle of life? Do you need salt and pepper to devour it?

The reason Cesare is standing in the spaghetti wearing sunglasses reflects how we as individuals consume popular culture. It teases the question however, do we consume popular culture, or does popular culture consume us? Also, notice the salt and pepper shaker. They gaze, judging the spaghetti and Cesare, clearly symbols for mother and father. They watch, and wait, to see if Cesare will one day fulfill the dreams and expectations they have set out for their child.

Hi Howdog, thats clear, its pure logic. But why is a small Cesare standing in the dish of spaghetti and why is he wearing blues brother glasses?

I like this clock, it has alot of hidden meaning. Let's look at the clock. The clock consists of 12 (Cesare), 3 (Cat), 6 (Papa), and 9 (Mama). The clock goes backwards through the cat, which is a representation of 'want', or 'do not want', depending on the sun/moon cycle. The dad, or papa, is 1/2 of Cesare, which is why he appears on 6 (of 12 hours). Next is mom, or mem-mem, who is placed at the 9. Now take the father(6) and add mama(9). What do you get? 15! Now take the cat, located at 3. Substract that from 15. What are you left with? 12, or in layman's terms, Cesare.

Is this a violation of the thermodynamic arrow of time?
