I've used symbolism as metaphors in my painting. 1- Bear traps, rat traps and bird cages represent mental depression, covid 19 lock-down scenario. 2- The red & blue snakes on the darker vines are our past practices of torturing mother earth. 3- I'm leaving those behind to turn a new leaf. We introspect and create flowers in a lush green new world. 4- We wear masks and gloves and bring social change to a brighter future. Nature will be kinder to us if people stop living as "ME" and start co-living with all organisms as "WE". 5. The story-line is like "Jack and the beanstalk". The main character climbs up the stem facing challenges and at the end, finds a golden key that unlock the other side of pandemic!
