Unwinding Sphere

There is probably some meaning in this sketch somewhere. I'm not sure what it is but I will leave that up to you. I drew this on vacation. I was on a cruise ship so there was a lot of water and very little inspiration. I was beating my head against the table in one of bars I had set up at trying to think of something to sketch. Eventually an M.C. Escher piece flashed in my mind. I wanted to get the same unraveling feel of that piece. Originally I was just practicing unwinding a sphere. As time went on I started expanding on the unwinding sphere. First came the river. Then a boat to help imply a river, then the sphere turned into the earth, which then turned into an orange on a limb. In the end it came a long way from just drawing a sphere but sometimes art doesn't have a direction it just unwinds itself. (shameless pun) I again apologize for the poor quality once I get my scanner working I'll try to re-post with more clarity.
