McSweeney’s has an ongoing contest that asks readers to submit convergences, “an unlikely, striking pair of images, along with a paragraph or three exploring the deeper resonances.” I hadn’t personally come across a compelling convergence until today. The top image comes from a special exhibition by coe & waits (of porcelain pinecone fame) for a Toronto hotel.

coe & waito’s hand sculpted, porcelain jellyfish, I’d like you to meet air pockets frozen in place in Lake Bonney in Victoria Land, Antartica.

Truth be told, I’m not sure how “unlikely” this convergence is, really, but I still think it’s neat.
