Series: Waterworld
Title: Togan Spy
He is a Togan, a member of one of the more sinister tribes that inhabit WaterWorld.
Within the context of this image, he has cunningly ingratiated himself with a wandering tribe of Sasians, a group known for their peace loving ways. By concocting a convincing tale; one that implies he wants to abandon the evil ways of the Togans, motivated he stated, “by the abduction of his wife by a renegade band of Togan militia”. He came forward, down on his knees, begging for mercy and a chance to cleanse himself of the dark side. All he wanted to do now he cried, “was join the peace crusaders and the let the light of joy beam down and cleanse his tormented soul”. The Sasians with their good nature, took pity on this individual they saw as a bedraggled and mortified lost individual and invited him into the clan. Unbeknown to them, he has been sent to spy within their ranks.
Still on the subject of pareidolia, a form of apophenia, which is a more general term for the human tendency to seek pattern in random information, within the context of my own interpretation of what I see in this mangrove knee root section, gives rise to this overly imaginative paragraph above. For when I look at this section of mangrove knee root, this is what I see;
I see a hunched figure, wearing a torn and tattered trench coat. The togan’s snout is seen at the front of the elongated pale head, his eye situated further up the with his pupil looking back. Because of this it gives him a creepy suspicious appearance that suggest to me someone up to no good. Then at the rear of his head in line with his eye is his small ear.
I see clearly his shoulder (with small blue dot that is this undershirt showing through the tear in the trench coast sleeve). His right arm then is pulled across his front and his hands tucked into the low deep pockets of his coat. This guy reminds me of a character out of Mad Max.
I’d be interested to know if anyone sees the same!
