Pen on transparent paper

Inspired by my previous works derived from Peter Kogler's ant works, this work is a counter piece to antmill and anthill. After attempting to represent life through structure I was forced to learn that there is no structure to truly represent life. The randomness in size and placement of ants reflects and contradicts the natural life of ants. Humans, just like ants, are often stuck in structure and perceived as hard-working, while in truth, neither are more than aimless wanderers.
