Art Explosion Contest: Theme - Life

"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live.". [Norman Cousins]

I believe we are all biologically programmed to live. If one's DNA could talk, it would tell one that the purpose of life is uncomplicated - To survive, reproduce and conceive wonders.

If we could just listen to what our inner self is saying and connect to it through our senses like ears, we would find someone inside who has bigger dreams and is longing to let the world know about it.

Never hide your potentials. Live your life to the fullest and show the world what you've got within.

I made an outline sketch of my figure. They are two hands - Male and female - holding a young plan from the root with the soil.

Then I added a background to bring out the work to allow light focus on the objects.

Thereafter, I worked on the femal hand and the soil.

Finally, I worked on the male hand before completing the plant with green roller tip pen.
