PULL THE STRINGS

ANIMAL SPIRIT:

This series of paintings conveys a powerful message about humanity's interconnectedness with the natural world and emphasizes our responsibilities towards animals and the planet.

Each canvas, featuring a woman alongside an animal, serves as a visual reminder that humans are not isolated on this planet; instead, they share it with diverse and valuable forms of life.

The inclusion of women in these compositions may symbolize the nurturing and caretaking aspects of humanity. The juxtaposition with animals underscores the delicate balance of ecosystems and the significance of coexistence.

Through this visual narrative, the artist prompts viewers to reflect on the impact of human actions on the environment and encourages a sense of responsibility for the well-being of both animals and the planet as a whole.

The depiction of the monkey pulling the strings likely symbolizes the idea of human origins from primates. Thus, the woman, representing humans, is influenced or guided by this evolutionary connection with monkeys. The phrase "pull the strings" can convey both the control exerted by humans over their environment and the responsibility that stems from this evolution. It underscores our duty towards the planet and the species that share our evolutionary history.
