The Birds' Toy

Description

Basic Description:
Humans act very recklessly, we destroy our planet, we treat living creatures like inanimate objects and we don't care about the rest of the world. But what if we weren't the ones to destroy, but to suffer? What if we were the "toys" of animals? I guess they would treat us much more carefully, because most animals don't show a simply destructive side, I wanted to represent that by the bird carefully balancing the figure. But at the same time, we mustn't forget that we are fragile and that any malevolence could be our end. This is why I chose to have the bird balancing a music box figure, though they are very beautiful and delicate, they tend to be very fragile and break easily, which can be seen as a metaphor for nature.

This was my first time painting with acrylics, so there's still a lot to practice for me, but I enjoy the medium and plan on doing more pieces using them.
