Over in another thread: Can you claim to be a great photographer when using modern high tech gear ? someone posted a video that included a photograph of two blue buckets. I had never see that photo before so did a bit of digging and found a bit more detail:

The photo does absolutely nothing for me. The second and third photos in the link above are perhaps more evocative of something but the blue buckets? For me they are a snapshot, they might at best be called documentary but even then the lack of context renders any documentary very limited.
Now I haven't seen the collected work so there may be something when seen in relationship to the other photos in that collection but would someone care to explain the significance of two blue buckets?
