Despite the criticism about the narrative clarity of this piece (which I absolutely agree with), I have to say, I see potential here. I like your use of shape (roundness), and color binaries (mud, whitewash, layers, cleanliness). However, the others are right. Without more clarity, this has no power. As a reader, I respond well to the imagery of this apparently dirty white thing (humanity? God?) that eventually gets clean, but I'm not affected by it because I have no idea what it means. TLDR: keep the "feel" of the imagery, make everything way way way clearer.
