Man is laying on the ground, dreams awake, trying to catch the star (metaphorically -chase his dream, striving to succeed). His body also represents his surrounding/ buildings, houses with the windows that are all the same, monotone, depressing - which refers to living life without fulfillment, fitting to surrounding, to society at cost of losing personality, identity, not listening to inner being, inner self.
