IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

This whole idea probably doesn't work if it has to be explained,
but in light of my limited rendering abilities I'll see if I can
illuminate what I had in mind.

First we have the aquarium, a simple world within a world, in
this case a sparsely furnished room.  Reflected in the glass we
see the television, another world of sorts.  And what is that on
the TV?  Well, that's Bart and Homer, filling roles from The
Matrix, which has to be the ultimate example of a world within a
world.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

Almost everything in this scene was hand coded, as is probably
very evident.  I used fractint for the floor of the aquarium.  I
do need to acknowledge one model in the scene which is not mine.
The fish are taken from the "Bathtub" entry in the previous
"Water" round of the IRTC.  Thanks to their creator.
