oh i can see what this is all about now...and why it had upset my mother so much....takeshi is a japanese potter and not chinese...even though it is ostensibly a chinese collection...and he is outing something that she didn't want to be woken up to....'tom's gold' as tomlinson was to call it....you see ena had reprogrammed all parents/programmers of her generation within the ill cult as 'potters in later life'....

the ill extracting 'golden noble soul gas' from their slaves....

i am unclear as to how the metaphor works but i can remember takeshi indicating that the tops of the 'white stalks' had a variety of mushroom used in mind control programming....

and the white bowls are shaped to 'represent people/children trying to escape'....

nota bene also the music being played whilst that colour is being shown....listen to the tape upon the above url for the gallery....
