I think I see the volcano, but I'm not sure. I do see the the dino/snail. Overall I'd say that when it comes to your art we might be playing with the same ball, but two completely different games :)
There is a big news story in my area of two men that went off-shore in a fishing boat and never returned. Massive search, which not surprisingly, has yielded nothing. That's what came to mind when I was reading this earlier, although the ocean is significantly less forgiving than being out in the wilderness even under bad circumstances.
