IMAGE DESCRIPTION:
 I know that it is not much, but here is my first attempt at doing something for a competition.  With that in mind, I thought, spheres, when I first heard of the competition title.  Worlds are spherical, and they contain lots of little spheres (id est: other cultures).  Here then, is my representation of that...
DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:
 I first started with the smaller 'sphere complex'.  It has no 'see-thru' properties.  Then I cloned it and made the new complex see-thru.  Once again I cloned the non-s.t. and put each (8 total) inside the s.t. complexes spheres (that is, in the corner spheres, one per).  I cloned the s.t. one so that I had eight total, then cloned a s.t. one w/o the spheres inside so I could repeat the process before.
 That was pretty much the construction of the image.  That was all done in Moray.  POV-Ray generated the BMP, and XnView generated the JPG.
