I actually entered this into the Emma Hack Art Prize where the theme was 'Humanity in Nature'. I painted this specifically for the theme and think it suits it perfectly. My whole concept was to paint something that was visually beautiful while also including the reality of mans impact on nature.
When going in closer to the painting you will see that I have used impactful words and pictures of mans impact on the beauty of nature.
I chose a woman as the focus as i imagined her as Eve the first woman on the earth (depending on your own beliefs).
