comber (right), whose search for
monetary “treasure” with awkward

technological prosthetics, like extra
limbs, and one arm tellingly encased

the sand, expressing a connection

with the environment that remains
innocent of the toll placed on it by the

insatiable inhuman desire for the
wrong kind of treasure.
