"bug Off" this again shows the difference a sense of life has to presentation... not only that, but a flippant remark is being turned into more than a 'cute' piece - if one looks closely at the work... consider - the bug, a leafhopper, is the only truly life-sized object in the work... the leaf is almost life-sized, depending on what kind of plant is presumed [and there is no such plant, as I use that as a prop, a background, just as literature uses real events as backdrop for the story involved]... the rest, however, surrealistically shrinks, such that the brick concourse on which the potted plant sits is most definitely NOT life-sized... why? well, one could take it as a matter of perspective, wherein the bug is 'in your face', as it were, being life-sized, which takes the phrase and right there gives it both the literal and the figurative meanings... note, too, however, that the bug is leaping to the side, not at the viewer, nor away from the viewer, but to the right, implying another phrase, 'the right way to go'... there is also a sense of exhuberance at the bug leaping, a brightly colored zest for life, sort of reversing the connotation of the title phrase from negative to positive...
