IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 

A scene portraying the worship of water.  The humanoid figures with "chicken"
legs (legs which have knees that bend back vs. forward) are representative of
the equality and lack of difference between the human species and the rest of
nature.  The reason for worship of the water vapor, keeping in mind the
significance of the humanoid figures, is to show the entire animal kingdom's
complete dependence on water for survival.

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

Moray was used to scale spheres to create the humanoids, as well as the center
pillar, base, water vapor, and textures.  Rhino was used to model the "heads" -
due to the need of something (a "nose" in this case) to show that yes, they are
facing inward vs. outward.  I deformed an ovoid to create the nose.
