As for what it represents... according to him, those who see it have to make that out for themselves 
Some critics' ideas on it: it is a play on the traditional picture in art of a road sidelined by trees, it's a commentary on the lack of nature in everyday society, it represents the organic essence of life and movement, it contrasts the alienating nature of traffic and technology with a view of organicity and human interaction, etc. Critics can be pretty creative. |
Reminds me of "The Great Figure Five" by William Carlos Williams and what one of my literature professors had to say about it.
I like the take your father had on it. Leaves a lot open to interp by whoever is feeling pretentious around it.
