Longing
In “Longing,” you will see the innocent look of a young chimpanzee. As the artist, I can’t help but wonder what he is looking at. As we’ve watched our natural habitats become concrete cities, we have lost sight of the emotional toll this has on our wildlife, and us internally as mammals ourselves. Monkeys, like humans, have natural empathy and compassion for one another, showing love and affection in the same ways we do. As we look through the eyes of this beautiful animal, let’s observe how it makes us feel. Are his eyes wide with adventure or sadness? As a youngling, he starts out a lot like us. Swinging around life without fear, but he could also look around and see his home has been destroyed by those he is supposed to coexist with. Those who are equal parts of this Earth, just as he is. Let us begin again to look at the trees like they are our home, instead of our products. Let us look at the life around us and treat it as if it is just as important as our own. Let us get back to the wild, with what we were created and live among these magnificent creatures once more as family, connected together, as One.
