People Eating People Eating People

This piece reflects my perception of capitalist societies, where survival often means competing and consuming one another. The size of each creature symbolizes class: the larger they are, the more they’ve devoured. However, even the tallest can fall, overtaken by others. Staying small and close to the ground is a reminder of our proximity to death, driving the creatures’ desperate climb to grow tall and high above the ground. In the center, a small, skull-like figure observes the chaos. Too innocent to join the devouring, it represents the pain and futility of existing in such a system.
This piece is part of a larger project (a comic) where I aim to explore these themes further and share my solution to this cycle.
