hmm it seems like Europa (would be europe in spanish is a wanna-be majestetic fortress enclosed in itself who thinks to stand above the rest... sort of, join the EU rule with us or fragg off (?) ...or regardless who you are, even outside the EU, we decide on you.
I think your quote 'Democracy is a lie' (i agree) tells abit about the mood of the pic too, for me, tha is. |

Nice image, Affected.
I can see you in this picture - right there, next to Waldo. Seriously, this appears to be your attitude... about democracy, walls, oppression...
- Italy
- a wall or cargo train blocking passage between the north and the south
- the floating bastion of Europa, impenetrable from those who are not already in it
Hmm. I'm not enough of a worldly, historical buff to connect the dots
But, there's something there about being left out and blocking entrance/passage, that's for sure. At least for me, heh heh.
Europa reminds me of Thomas Dolby

I posted an earlier version of this image a while ago. I'm not quite happy with it, but I have to move on to new images. I'm in a bit of a hurry, you see. So, feel free to comment on visual things, but what I'd really like to know is if the message gets across. What do you get out of it, if anything?

isn't it spelled with an e in the end? mmhh.why you choose italy, since that's what's in the pic, and where it was water before it's now desert? italy sure is full of trees now. so everybody in europe is living in that flying fortress? or just the rich ones? if everybody is living there then nobody is ruining the earth. which makes it recover. but i don't get the yellow areas, are they desert? well if they are then the green areas shouldn't be green cause the don't get any water. so it can't be that, it must be farmland. or...no....its just confusing.......it doesn't make sense, or that's prolly what you wanted, where you, to confuse peeps? or, all the industries and poluting stuff is on the fortress...uhh, i prolly talked to much already... |

I chose europa because it sounds a bit more like a ship's name, and slapping Europe on it would've seemed a bit too much like the old political cartoons where each person had his name written beside the character... Still pretty slim, I know. As for the rest, I won't say what I wanted to say with it just yet, I'll wait for other opinions.
