This is an interresting piece, there's blue lighting to act as sea,
and of course you have to have fish in the sea, so that is what
these orange things are. I can just about make out two children,
one is a sleep, whilst the other is reading a book both could possibly
be dreaming/reading/thinking the same thing. It could be a favourite
bedtime story.

Skoglund creates surrealist images by building elaborate sets or tableaux, furnishing them with carefully purchased and trained small children and other objects, a process of which takes her months to complete. Finally, she photographs the set, complete with actors. The works are characterized by an overwhelming amount of one object and either bright, contrasting colors or a monochromatic color scheme.

This is my favourite out of the two, because it makes me think of food,
evidently it is made of food, this can also be annoying because when
your really craving for something naughty and know you shouldn't. But
it's interresting that you could make a whole world out of food, I'd try
and do it with smarties, that would fun and frustrating to pin every single
smartie without craking or spliting them.
