The Plains and the Pyramids

These two new pieces are a kind of story painting...not that everything in them means something or symbolizes something else, but more that they are extremely detailed and meant to be kind of "read" by the viewer. Much like "the Garden of Earthly Delights",

it is an overview of a place full of people following a common theme. While not completely done, you are supposed to feel the monotony of everyday life. The constant and unending work to produce...to get a sense of culture as a whole instead of using one person or image to symbolize a specific emotion.

They are not meant as icons, messages or commentaries on the subject, but rather snapshots. Just placing the setting before you and allowing the viewer to walk through themselves. They are landscape paintings, but instead of the beauty of mother nature, you see the tedious repetition of human life.
