Description
Lately I’ve come to the conclusion that what separates humans from other animal societies is not our intelligence, but our cruelty, self imposed ignorance and our self hatred.It was these qualities that led us to believe we could destroy nature and when our greed threatened to destroy us, many have decided to go back to nature, but my question is what gives us the right to go back?

I like how the branch is poking her in the eye <3/ and the cracked egg. Small things like that make up the big picture that conveys your message welll <3. Good job.

This is amazingly surrealistic as well as thoughtful of the message.

I absolutely love this, both the image and the message. It's got a very cool Dali thing going on, especially in those very tasteful touches of red. Your imagination is really beautiful here.
DaVinci said "Truly man is the king of beasts, for his brutality exceeds theirs. We live by the death of others: We are burial places!" That was the first thing I thought of looking at this piece and reading your description.
Awesome work!

What gives us the right to go back? The same thing that gave us the right to separate in the first place - freewill. The fact is we are not separate from nature. We can never truely separate ourselves from nature, we are a part of it. We just need to recognize this and act accordigly. Anyways your painting provokes thought and thats always a good thing.

Another ambrosia of surrealism and philosophy with a razor sharp edge employed as if a blunt instrument. This latest work leaps and bounds above a jab in the eye with a sharp stick. i am puzzled in the extreme in how Woman once again gets so bad a rap and the blame to fame for birthing the folly. i always so closely associated things Feminine with the Earth Mother so find this portrait fascinating in casting the female in the archetype of humanity who has laid a rotten egg and said to nature the yokes on you. Quite like the no forgive and forget foundation of the message and the artist's suggestion that all the hippies heading for the forest ought to find nature waiting Alfred Hitchcock -like there to give them the bird.
