Original artwork description:

This artwork serves as a poignant reflection of our era, capturing a pivotal moment in history with profound symbolism woven throughout. Within its intricate details, one can discern references to the four evangelists symbolized by the Eagle, Taurus, Lion, and Angel, as well as the snake representing duality and conflict.

The narrative unfolds to reveal how division and entrenched ideologies fuel fear, hatred, and violence, leading to tragic outcomes. Images within the piece depict the exploitation of ignorance and calamity for profit, while lives are lost and consumed by relentless wars. The mantra of "Never again" proves futile as history's cycle repeats, ushering in new chapters of turmoil.

As you gaze upon this artwork, allow yourself to be drawn into its allegorical reflection of inner turmoil. The interplay of violence and kindness depicted mirrors the eternal struggle between light and darkness, reflecting our internal dichotomy.

Embrace the challenge of self-reflection, for it is through acknowledging our shadows that we can transcend and break free from destructive patterns that bind us, giving rise to greed, hatred, and fear.
