The Pecking Order

Here’s the full painting for the Pecking Order series, my first artwork that is inspired by my real-life moments.

My aim wasn’t only to show the water crisis, but to challenge how far one painting can carry a concept and story. I used symbols and character interactions instead of loud explanations, so the interpretation stays open, hearing what people think is the parts makes it fun and fascinating to me.

This piece took me quite a long time to finish. If you’re curious about the story and detail of how each layer came together, feel free to peek at my process on my previous posts over on ArtStation. Hope you like it! I'm excited to hear your own thoughts on this piece o7
