The Trophy Hunter
Very proud of this piece and that I finally managed to finish it :) Most of my artworks just need the right time.
I guess my interpretation of ‘Ego death’ :)
Funny thing a crown can do It makes one think they’re better than you They think their circlet makes them God That they won’t be burried beneath the sod So remind them with a blade or mace That they lack any divine grace. -ThePoetGoblin (on Twitter)
Elephant tusks being burnt in Kenya
For centuries, the demand for ivory has caused great suffering to innumerable elephants. On April 30, 2016, 105
tons of seized poached tusks from approximately 10,000 elephants were destroyed in Nairobi national park during a public ceremony. The tusks, methodically arranged on metallic pyramids, were burned as if on funeral pyres. The event, widely covered by the media, was intended to make the general public more aware of the struggle to eliminate elephant poaching. With this symbolic gesture, the presidents of kenya and gabon wished to alert the whole world to the gravity of the traffic in ivory. The survival of about 500,000 african elephants is at stake.

i remember that time you told me you said "love is touching souls" surely you touched mine 'cause part of you pours out of me in these lines from time to time oh, you're in my blood like holy wine
“Hell is other people” has always been misunderstood. It has been thought that what I meant by that was that our relations with other people are always poisoned, that they are invariably hellish relations. But what I really mean is something totally different. I mean that if relations with someone else are twisted, vitiated, then that other person can only be hell. Why? Because…when we think about ourselves, when we try to know ourselves,…we use the knowledge of us which other people already have. We judge ourselves with the means other people have and have given us for judging ourselves. Into whatever I say about myself someone else’s judgment always enters. Into whatever I feel within myself someone else’s judgment enters…But that does not at all mean that one cannot have relations with other people. It simply brings out the capital importance of all other people for each one of us.
