The City Cemetery's Singing is a piece that I'm not super sure about. I had a name and a very specific image when I started, but I don't know how or why they connect. The second I got the surface, I knew what I wanted to do, but I didn't, and still don't, know exactly what it's saying.
I think much of the imagery is based off the "the golden calf" idea and the dominance and symbolism of the bull. I think the cemetery singing is symbolic of praise...Together those equate to the worshipping of a false idol, putting faith in something false...The city cemetery singing, then, symbolizes some unknown, some unrest, discontent or disbelief...a failure of foundation...a crisis of faith...
And not in a strictly religious sense either...
