The message of this video is strong because he highlights the concept of what the point is to everything you do and the purpose of it. This video is about how he repeats the same sentence over and over again. 

I really like this artwork because it show the way that he has to deal with the same situation every time, where he pushes the rock up the hill and it falls down till he has to repeat it every time. Finding new ways to do things is always are positive situation.
