Perspectives: Hman, Inspired By C.S. Lewis

Dimensions: 34.5 cm x 25.5 cm
We all have different perspectives and world views. After reading Plato's "The Parable of the Cave" and the first two books of Lewis' Space Trilogy, I was inspired to create a drawing which showed man in Malacandrian eyes. The man is drawn according to the description in the book. To the creatures, "hman", the word for man hence the title, does not have correct proportions; man is seen as hostile and violent, which is different from the ideal man in modern society.
