Original artwork description:

When we look at things around us, we make a distinction between the "observer" and "that which is observed". If we look at a bird, for instance, here is us and there is the bird. Naturally, for practical purposes, it must be so. Only on a surface level, though.

Family Tree reflects on the idea that, underneath the surface, what seem to be separated entities, a bird, an insect, a tree and, by all means, Man, too, are in fact deeply interrelated: they are but different manifestations in the dimension of Space of the same body: the Body of Life.

As the question is pondered further through the picture, we are also reminded that, as science and biology attest, life expresses itself within the dimension of Time as well, namely through Evolution. It was from the first form of life appeared on earth that all else came; this is the meaning of Interrelatedness represented by Family tree.
