The idea of "automating" the stacking of junk is darkly humorous.

The picture has a real pleasing feel to it. I like the warm tones but 
sense of murk with the hint of texture emerging.  The verticality adds a

The isolating and viewing something for what it really is.  Putting 
vagary on display.
