The artwork represents the healing and destructive power of nature on our planet, including human and other life forms. The artist aims to convey the message that the fate of life and the planet is undeniably linked to nature.
She depicts this relationship through the metaphor of mother and child. In abstract form, humanity receives life support from the mouth of the crowned figure representing the mother of nature. It is intended to convey that there is a direct vital connection with humanity that nature gives life and heals, and that life depends on this mother, which is nature. It draws attention to the human need for nature. The artist puts the healing power of nature, which she admires the most, at the center of the effect of nature that creates and destroys.
The work aims to draw attention to the deterioration of the human relationship with nature due to urban life and the lifestyles imposed by the capitalist system, and the consequences of the rapid destruction of nature by human hands. Artist characterizes it as a metaphorical bullet that man consciously fires at himself. The work raises the question of how long nature will tolerate us. Artist wants to bring the concern of how long nature will tolerate us to the viewer's agenda
