Does anybody have a logical explanation as to what the Tommy album cover is or is supposed to represent?

>Tommy was originally released as a two-LP set with artwork designed by McInnerney, which included a booklet including lyrics and images to illustrate parts of the story. The cover is presented as part of a triptych-style fold-out cover, and the booklet contained abstract artwork that outlined the story.
>Townshend thought McInnerney, a fellow follower of [Meher Baba, Townshend's spiritual mentor], would be a suitable choice to do the cover. As recording was near completion, McInnerney received a number of cassettes with completed songs and a brief outline for the story, which he immediately recognised as being based on Baba's teachings. He wanted to try and convey the world of a deaf, dumb and blind boy, and decided to "depict a kind of breaking out of a certain restricted plane into freedom." The finished cover contained a blue and white web of clouds, a fist punching into the black void to the left of it. The inner triptych, meanwhile, showed a hand reaching out to light and a light shining in a dark void.
Also, pic related is better than Tommy. Fight me.

I always saw it as a fence or something like that that
then again, I never looked at it closely. Didn't even take a closer look at the white spots until just now so I only just realized what that was

It's a fence
The difference is the scenery is the ligning of the fence instead of it being through the holes
