“White Collar” is an illustration of the struggle to make ends meet that forces talented men and women into salaried office jobs where they are unhappy and unfulfilled. The gift boxes behind the subject are metaphors for the opportunities talented people turn away from because of the demands of life and society. The neck collar and padlock are metaphors for the salary people are paid to forget their dreams
