However, it generally gives the impression of not piling up rubbish, as if pulled out from a dusty attic, and is recognized as a metaphor for abandonment, homelessness, lost souls, not only things but people, many aspects of our lives. The images leave a wonderfully nostalgic feeling of the passing epoch, acquiring high philosophical sense.
