"There is no reason to think that the evolutionary process has stopped.  Man is a transitional animal.  He is not the climax of creation."

-Carl Sagan

"Art need no longer be an account of past sensations.  It can become the direct organization of more highly evolved sensations.  It is a question of producing ourselves, not the things that enslave us."

-Guy Debord

"Evolution, of course, is not something that applies to life here on earth; it applies to the whole universe."

-John Polkinghorne

Our presentation chronicled our own perspective and interpretations of what we perceive to be evolution.  From the beginning of what we were taught, to the realizations about what evolution "is," we felt that the story is not yet over, and that the process is continual, not just with humans, but with the universe as a whole.  We also chose to incorporate a video of Tibetan Sand Mandala to represent the passage of time, and the question of what is death, and how people make decisions surrounding a new step of evolution. So while it might seem as though the monks are destroying the sand art, they are actually returning it to nature, thereby forcing the question of what the "end" really is.
