Description

Blehhhh, I'll fill this out latah...

EDIT:
Filling out now, poop; I guess the underlying idea to this is, above all else, life is most important. But I think we've lost that sense of importance, and have developed horribly skewed priorities. We now look at material objects and proclaim and admire their worth. All while tearing apart the land, soiling our water, and polluting the skies in the name of achieving this material wealth. And we've become so obsessed with it that we can no longer see the true beauty of what has been handed to us. We cannot look past the shining objects in front of us to see the beauty and life behind it. We'd rather have a fur coat than know there is a beautiful living creature out in the wild. And that's just fucked up.

I love the message of this. One thing you wrote really resonated with me... "We'd rather have a fur coat than know there is a beautiful living creature out in the wild." The artwork is beautiful as well, the colors are so vibrant! Every piece of this is perfection.
