English: This artwork symbolizes the parallels of evolution, one being man himself (the dna tree) and the second the evolved and ever changing world man has adapted for himself (the press cutting)

In this piece man is seen separated from the dna tree as he no longer relies on biological evolution to adapt to his environment and believes he is apart from it. However, as can be seen in the image mankind is actually trapped by it on his quest to reach for the stars.

The geckos are a symbol of change and a reminder to man that although we feel removed from nature and masters of it we can never escape its influence and in this painting this notion is depicted as such by way of the gecko mutating our inherited gene tree and reminding us of our connections to nature as harbingers of disease.
