My hope is to create

an Antarctic sculpture garden

by tempting others to construct more totems.

The idea is to create

some other vertical structures in this environment

besides the antennas, flagpoles and windsocks

situated all about the station.

The first totem made

was a mini sleeping container

(lets call it a 'bonsai donga')

with a rather rough head-like appearance.

Headhome is the working title for the entire series.
