http://snyderartdesign.com/red-bull-cooler-contest-at-lab-art/ Inside her armored shell, she nurtures a miracle of nature: four babies, all born from a single fertilized egg, splitting perfectly into four clones. No competition. No hierarchy. Just unity — genetically and emotionally bound.
These tiny tank-like babies arrive soft and pink, drinking side by side in complete synchrony. They’ll follow their mother in a tight-knit group for months, foraging, burrowing, and learning the ancient rhythm of survival.
But you know one brags about being first.
Self-Cleaning Oven, The Whole Bit

I told them this story:
In the forest, there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. Every day, the straight tree would say to the crooked tree, “Look at me…I’m tall, and I’m straight, and I’m handsome. Look at you…you’re all crooked and bent over. No one wants to look at you.” And they grew up in that forest together. And then one day the loggers came, and they saw the crooked tree and the straight tree, and they said, “Just cut the straight trees and leave the rest.”
So the loggers turned all the straight trees into lumber and toothpicks and paper. And the crooked tree is still there, growing stronger and stranger every day.”
