Lycanthrope

When viewed through the perspecive of the ever-changing artwork supplied by Giffin and Sabine, it is apprent that Sabine is simply a figment of Griffin's lonliness and over-active imagination. The lines between the seperate art forms begins to blur, and it seems almost too convenient that Sabine is the only islander to use the stamps which she pesonally designs. When viewed closely, even the handwriting of Griffin and Sabine ae similar enough to lend to the idea that both are, in fact, the same person.

The art work on the postcards lends to this theory through the use of contrasting items (such as Sabine's Venus-inspired figure surrounded by organic, exotic figures) shows the combination of both personalities in the same person. Later, Griffin's cards begin to show things transforming, or emerging from other things, such as the dog from the mans head, or the wolf in a coat on the back of the same post card. Subconsciously, Griffin (who has been writing to himself the whole time) has begun to blur the lines for himself. He has begun to lose his grasp on himself and on reality while slipping into total madness.
