Ohhhhh myyy gosh, this thing is so weird and hilarious. I think you said once, Runehorn, that you aren't a movie buff and don't see a lot of shows? Well, there's a whole slew of movies about zombies, and my ex-boyfriend made me watch every one of them. Bleak worlds with relentless undead hunting down the living. He deserves this sculpture just as a tribute to my post-romance stalking of him, if nothing else. My eyes aren't a steely-blue and I still have some hair, but otherwise, that could be me, yikes? What does the zombie-genre say about us as a society, though? Why is there some fascination with it? What does it mean--anything, I wonder?

Hm. Dragons are avarice, werewolves are wrath, vampires are usually lust. What do zombies represent?
Our attachment to things in this world and our unwillingness to pass gracefully to the next. Attachment, I think the Buddhists call it.
