The Story Behind the Shape

Alex begins his narrative in total control, asserting dominance as he leads a gang rampage through the night (→). His fortune collapses when he takes the fall for murder and endures brutal conditioning that ruins his beloved Beethoven, a catastrophic descent that bottoms out after he is released, endures music torture, and is driven to jump (↓). Surviving the fall, a good job is arranged and his violent fantasies return, pulling his trajectory sharply upward to its chilling original baseline (↑).
