layered meanings

This image is striking in how it shows a building which is being pulled down, and is set against the water and the shoreline. The commentary shows that it is an image which is supposed to be about renewal and newer meanings of pureness, but that the story is more complicated and might not even be entirely toxic. Just reading the commentary or even just the image, I don't get that story of layered meanings. I would suggest layering some of these meanings into the image. This might require listing out some of the other aspects left out of the frame; as a visual it could mean weaving in a word cloud of these other meanings into the image itself?
