What Big Homie Said to Little Homie

11 ft paper scroll containing eight sequential drawings. In the sequence, a little naked  figure in silver thongs stands looking up at a mountainous figure, towering above her.  Her body casts a rainbow shadow. The giant has a round body like a mountain, her long white pigtails droop down to touch the ground.  Her body is gray and covered in eyes.  Two moons of different phases in time hover in opposite corners. As the sequence progresses, the mountain/giant/femme sheds her face, skin, and hair, baring her big boned glowing skeleton.  Her bones and guts fall apart and rearrange themselves into a dark portal, rimmed in a rainbow circle.  The little one jumps in, head first. The phases of the moon combine to make a basketball, dunking in the portal. Surrounding this story are purple flames bursting along the edges, and team players slam-dunking a gradient moon.
