"This is actually one where I set up a still life. It looked like this except for the fish. On the table is the closest circle of friends.
There is a Mobius Strip for a tie - that is the paradox. The shell just below the glass on the left is my wife, the most beautiful shell. There are some old fossils I know,a piece of electronics (which has become a part of my life), and a crystal ball on the right to look off into the future.
The skull and shell to the right of the glass are looking up toward the puff ball - a bauble being dangled to attract the attention away from Mr. Barnacles.
The fish swimming in the water may be another dimension, perhaps a spiritual dimension. We are all surrounded by it"
