The story

To evolve... is part of life , the random mutations together with the survival of the fittest has created the world we live in now. In this work this is presented by the fact that none of the clogs are the same, none of the clogs are perfect. They all have been selected for their mistakes, for their mutation. The tree has all sorts of elements, fruits and one of them might evolve in the next generation of clogs. One of the mutations now seen as beeing imperfect will make this species survie in the troubled world ahead of us. :)
