[man], swan and a machine

oil on A3 oil-paper
2007

Explanation -

The original idea comes from a couplet in Sanskrit - an ancient and now dead - Indian language -

It describes the plight of a bee caught in a lotus, as it closes its petals at sunset. The bee hopes - the night will be over, the sun will shine again, the lotus will smile and I'll be free.
But a drunk elephant comes to the pond and tramples the lotus.

feed-back welcome
