"This is a picture that probably most closely resembles my dreams, which often involve anxious journeys in strange vehicles. While the original Red Tree images were not much inspired by dreams, they do try to follow the same logic (or lack thereof). In dreams our emotions are, I think, very real and telling, even if the context is weird and unfamiliar." - Shaun Tan
