“The Primal Handshake”

The painting explores the illusion of progress, revealing how power and politics repeat in a primitive cycle, disguised as diplomacy and formality. Nature creeps through the cracks of the system, symbolizing a world that, despite human control, continues to reclaim its space. The artwork is a reflection on greed, the fragility of man-made structures, and their inevitable decay.
