Crossing To Safety

This refurbished travel trunk holds a ‘scene,’ a moment from a mythic journey. The closed trunk resounds with antiquity, full of scars derived from the journey. A bier/raft of trees (broccoli) is solemnly escorted by five ducks (pears and squash) across a sea to an unknown destination. Numerologically, ‘five’ is an unstable, chaotic number, indicating an unresolved situation. Such is the case with the forests of the earth.
