This painting tells the story of our animal bodies. How we live in a constant circle of life on both above and under ground. We can easily think that we are living in some sci-fi reality, beyond the reach of mortality or nature's might, but our organic bodies will always turn to dust eventually and show us our place. There is no life without death and that is the beauty and grace of death. However this is not to be seen as a sad painting but on the contrary a celebration of life and biodiversity.
