I took apart a snow globe with a penguin in it from florida to replace it with tomb stones. My friend said a lot of people go to florida before they go to the grave. I liked that observation. I'm thinking about the sense of oasis vs. reality. The oasis is something that tends to reside in our imaginations~ a place of peace & calm & safety~ away from unpleasantness, and I think for a lot of people, death is an unpleasantness they want to escape from. The snow globe idea is a way to observe, in a contained and untouchable environment, these two extremes that aren't really accessible to us yet~death & our own sense of paradise. Yadda, yadda, yadda.
