Passing Through

This is an ink drawing depicting a lazy man on a couch, eating cake and watching tv.  This is symbolic of the people of modern society for whom our ancestors worked so hard and made many sacrifices so that their children and grandchildren and all of their legacy would have a better life.  I don't think they would be too excited to see how lazy and entitled we have become, thus depicted by the crying phoenix in the corner, a symbol of the risen spirit of the ancestors.  This is countered by the hissing serpent which holds the dollar sign in his tail and the spider that is weaving a web of the lies we tell, both to ourselves and to others.  The flowers surrounding the work are 'forget-me-nots' asking us to think of the people that went before us and all that they have done and suffered on our behalf.  The banners in the front represent some of the civilizations to which our ancestors may have derived, including Roman, Egyptian, Asian, Celtic, Viking etc.
