Another Man's Treasure

After a long and arduous journey, a caravan arrives to find a large city built from the remains of a kitchen, acting as a glimmer of hope in the persistence of life on earth.

“"Another Man's Treasure" acts as the culmination of the entire thesis in the form of a glimmer of hope. It represents the idea that despite our own impact on the earth, their will always be a chance that something will continue on, regardless of our actions. Whether we successfully mend the planet to a sustainable state or not, their will always be something that proceeds us, and something that will continue even after we are all gone. Within the fictional lives of these creatures, we see that despite everything, despite how badly we've left the state of the planet for them, they still find a way to continue and strive forward.”
