In keeping with the "ruins" theme of this collection, The Coliseum uses this image of the decaying coliseum in Rome to symbolize something of a ruin in mankind; this obsession with spectacle and even pain and violence. I think the inhabitants of ancient Rome would have felt quite at home watching television today. The news and media harp on it; of course, they make a mint off of it. I once spent quite a lot of energy supporting sports teams, but the indecent amount of money people get paid to play these games is beyond me now. Gambling was the last straw. I think there are more important things in life than who wins the Superbowl or the World Series, or who is a quarter second faster in the 50 yard dash. estory
