so my final project changed...

What I want people to get out of this project now is that we can all be consumed by our imaginations and fade into this other world which is utopic to us.  In this case, the alternate world is one where everyone shares, and can change into lush forest landscapes.  When woken up from this, reality is a brutal, unfair mess that can make you depressed and wish you were back in that other world.  I also wanted to play with irony as well.  When in the utopia, the boy gets a tomato from his clone, and thanks him.  The clone responds by saying "have a nice day".  This phrase is also seen at the end when the guy in the business suit tells him his house is foreclosed, ending with a formal "have a nice day" that is just a closer for his visit.  By paralleling these two moments it suggests a sort of omen to the boy's downfall, which is completely unfair, but portrays what life can really be like.
