The circus open: I find it fascinating how humans have evolved from seeking shelter and protecting endangered species to becoming world leaders in exploitation. What was once driven by survival has now become a pursuit of power and speed. Everyone wants to dominate their surroundings, and when that doesn't happen, conflicts arise, and spaces get occupied. In this painting, something unknown is happening behind the bush. The image of a person trapped in a cage while a lion roams free becomes a powerful representation of an unfulfilled life , a commentary on how we've inverted the natural order, and the wild has become the confines of our own making.
