>>2699364My take on it was always that we are destroying our planet (oil over Earth, explosion in the background, etc.), while morning the loss of our youth, as in, ignoring the youth to come. We're preoccupying our minds with petty loss, while allowing our own continuation, as a species, to diminish... Which is where the crowned pterodactyl comes into play. We consider ourselves "kings", in comparison to other species, but at the same time, where is the pterodactyl? Extinct... Our culture has poisoned us. We've deviated too far from evolutionary norms. It is a fascinating piece of art, and I think that the use of the spongebob character sometimes puts people off from really recognizing its meaning. Thanks for you input.
