"Ascension"
From the primordial sea through the tools of rocks then beyond the clouds only to find it is possibly all a game. The primordial sea is obviously characterized by the foreground water and volcano. The tools of rocks is characterized by the steps cut into the rising rock column. Beyond the clouds is represented by the ascending steps and the changing of the rock structures into cloud shapes which gives symbolic representation to our technical advancement. And the checkered sky is symbolic of the game, if it is one. If it is, then for me personally, I enjoy playing.
