This conceptual art piece by Scott Ashley reflects on the idea that a shovel can be associated with burial and death, representing a “dark thought.” By painting the shovel white, the artist sarcastically transforms this dark association into a “white thought,” creating a contrast between the object’s meaning and its appearance.
