Original artwork description:

This painting, saturated with symbolism, depicts a young girl with a look filled with thoughtfulness and, perhaps, longing. The background reveals a nature that has lost its primordial nature, reflecting human intervention. This is the personification of how man, in his quest for progress and benefit, is changing the face of the Earth. In the foreground is a figure with six fingers on his hand, which symbolizes the unprecedented human impact on the environment – his actions affect not only the world around him, but also the person himself, turning him into something else, changing his essence. This hand mutation is a powerful reminder that we are inseparable from nature, and our reckless exploitation of resources is coming back to us, changing us as a species. The painting is done in oil paints on a wooden panel, which gives the image depth and richness of textures. This work of art serves as a reminder that every action has consequences, and we, as part of nature, must take care of it in order to preserve the harmony of the world in which we live.
