Found this on Tumblr. The information in the caption is all that was given (excluding the notes). At first glance, I thought that I was looking at a piece of block foam insulation, but then I realized that the image was digitally modified. Whatever it is appears to be sitting on a sidewalk while leaning against a wall. The letter patterns are interesting; the letters on the white wall in the background resemble an eye test at the doctor's office, and the backward-printed words on the pink shape read, "Sharing is caring." None of it makes any sense to me at all except for the words written across the pink shape - and even my own interpretation is only dubious speculation. I think that the writing might be making an iconoclastic statement about color symbolism and connotations associated with colors in our culture. The image also bears vague resemblance to a construction site with the industrial materials (supposedly), and the play on the word "pink," "p.inc." enhances this appearance. In light of this idea, the piece might also be a statement directed at the industrial sector. In any case, it does not seem that the artist intended to create a positive feeling in the viewer. To me, the piece seems rather serious, enigmatic, even ominous.
