This installation consists of a miniature

over 5,000 war toys from the United States,
Japan, and Europe. The whole tableau is set
on a sand base, which acts simultaneously as
a metaphor for both the desert and the ocean.
Each city is protected by natural rock
formations. Behind each city is a large
collection of houseplants representing the
jungle. On view in the Installation Gallery of
