Whilst sitting through a speak in art class, my professor said "you need to aim to create something that will make people stop, stare, think, and possibly disturb them because it's just out of the norm"

After making the elephant ( http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2165440 ), I decided to keep going and make this turtle too.
It gasps for air as it slowly dies. Can you see all the reasons why?

Interpret however you see fit.
