All life on this planet started as single cells, which eventually grew together to cooperate and build larger organisms. We are nothing but the collection of trillions of microscopic organisms, assembling and cooperating toward the goal of sustaining a larger lifeform that they can never have any awareness of. This painting, to me, reminds me of that process--of assembling and cooperating, of beginning a partnership of separate pieces and seemingly disparate goals in order to sustain and build something greater and more complex.
