Description It was the expression that caught my eye.

Amazing how a piece of metal could look
so emotive.


Your slipping slowly from my reach,
You grow me like an evergreen,
you've never seen the lonely me at all"

This just gives me the vibe of.. Man vs machine. Or .. Machine vs nature.

I think of the movie I Robot, which was ok in the theory it had. Machines, can they ever have emotion? ...

Or do we simply see what we wish? this is only sculpted metal, yet it's an emotion. Hmm..

Metal and Steel, by Bob Schneider

Damn... did you make that? Great work... it really reminds me of Metal and Steel, by Bob Schneider: "I'll be silver & I'll be gold, without a heart and without even a soul, I'll be coal. I won't be blood and teeth and skin, and I won't feel the pain I'm in, I'll be tin with, no heart within."
