The top one would require a lengthy description and several images that outline each individual image inside. Did you see the volcano? That's one of my favorite parts. The wild limbs can be a snail on the bottom and some of a meat eating triceratops, on top. They serve a purpose at a distance, where I'm hoping it looks like something else until folks get close. Those features only work in a room, when it's on a wall.
Nobody knows where I go when I leave, usually. I don't even know. I always try to find a new place to explore. I pack some basic survival stuff in case I need it. Been doing this for years. I wouldn't mind purchasing something designed for long distances off road, and being gone for a few months, maybe years.
I think I see the volcano, but I'm not sure. I do see the the dino/snail. Overall I'd say that when it comes to your art we might be playing with the same ball, but two completely different games :)
There is a big news story in my area of two men that went off-shore in a fishing boat and never returned. Massive search, which not surprisingly, has yielded nothing. That's what came to mind when I was reading this earlier, although the ocean is significantly less forgiving than being out in the wilderness even under bad circumstances.
The volcano is right there in the middle, erupting. These things can be whatever people want them to be though. Doesn't matter to me what anyone sees but it's always interesting to hear about.
There was time long ago when I wanted to find any job I could, on a boat. Then I got fussy and didn't want to fish. Wanted something on a sailing yacht of sorts. Something like that. Couldn't find it, without experience. Gave up and it's probably for the best. The ocean is its own world. The only problem I'd face here, is the cold, in winter.
Just standing there staring out at the horizon, it hurts the eyes and the mind as you imagine all the land falling away and you just surrounded by that endless water. Yes, I'd definitely take cold over being adrift in that.
