The Progressive Burden of Ancestral Inheritance

--Acrylic on watercolor paper.


This one can be explained like this:

Fact: We inherit genes from our parents. We also inherit a world views, not genetically but through the family institution; We either follow world views that they teach us as kids, or we change them. We take some and leave some (or all), or make our own. Physical evolution supplements this culture change in showing that organisms become more complex with time -- such is depicted with the pupil shapes on the three descending eyes (a play on 'descent with modification' -- I used a green to blue transition to signal our departure from a past beastly nature.

No matter how much we change, we still carry some of our parents and grandparents burdens. But in doing do we slowly proceed towards a better, more complex existence. The tears are supposed to be cranking the sun about not unlike a water mill.
