‘We seemingly aren’t the only animal that has ritual nor Aesthetic sensibilities. Funerary practices, rain dances, sun gazing to name a few. This painting considers the similarities between human and animal ritual, asking “How different are we really?”. These ape-like figures sit together watching the destruction of fire draw ever near. Other animals flee, but for some reason, we stay and watch.’ -Lapthorn
