Safety in visability




Hermit crabs have their shelter with them their whole life switching it every so often but will always have another shelter to go to before vacating their current shell. The fact that you never see a hermit crab out of its shelter makes this picture quite intriguing in that it is visible to an extent. For some reason it doesn't seem like it's that effective a refuge because of its transparent nature. In essence I feel a refuge should make you feel safe. For example I would feel safer sleeping in a tent than a green house in the middle of a dark wood. It's the thought that your on show,visible to all like a display shelf that makes you feel vulnerable.
