These drawings are meant to activate the conscience in people, to question
accepted beliefs. A highly developed conscience deters humanity from
killing or inflicting cruelty to animals, prevents violence, war or
destruction. For such actions are nurtured by ignorance, by bias, by
hatred, and by lack of morals and values and the best antidote for these
conditions is developing one's conscience.
The animals in these paintings are not just what they seem but symbols of
our own selves. Metaphors of a humanity that is gradually losing its
mission and true nature. A humanity that slowly kills, sacrifices itself
for a false 'God'.

It is as if we are facing nature's revenge. A bird disease comes as a curse
to punish us for abusing animals and nature in general. We have created a
fake world and we have put it in a cocoon, while waiting for it to grow and
flourish. However, the fertile we have used is an infected one that kills
rather than creates life. Human nature has been 'infected' by multiple
'viruses' and 'evils'. 'Infected' minds rule this world.
We no more kill to survive. We kill to satisfy our capricious mood. Most
importantly, we kill members of our own family, the human race. Why? For
power? For money? For satisfaction? Due to suppressed sexual and
psychological disorders?
The dead bodies give the sense of a warning for those that abuse the weak.
A bad omen.
A sign
