This painting forms part of a series of paintings through which I am exploring culture and nature and the tension between the two. The simple recurring bowl symbol stands for the myriad ways people transform nature, thereby forming culture. Here a reference to window blinds emphasizes the break between inside (human culture) and outside (nature).
