Being At War With Each Other
This is basically about mistrust.
Cause, isn´t mistrust a way of being in war with someone else?
I took the inspiration for this image from Carole King´s “Being At War With Each Other” amazing composition.
Here´s the link to Carole´s original recording of this song.
And here´s the link to Barbra Streisand´s version.
Main lyrics go this way:
“Everyone comes from one father, one mother
So why do we complicate our lives so much
By being at war with each other
Maybe I’m crazy but I don’t understand it
Why do we seem to vote to dig more holes
It’s such a waste of planet
There must be a reason that I can’t see
Maybe somebody else knows better than me
All I know is everyone else is a sister or a brother
So we’ve got to look around again and stop
Being at war with each other
Being at war with each other
We’ve got to look around again and stop
Being at war with each other.”
Basic image is a cinema4D render; it took just a bit of postwork to complete it.

Wow – the whole concept is so good – and the image – despite the tension in it – is also beautiful…

No pelean.. juegan.
Así aprenden los animales.
Porque tiene que cazar… defender…copular.
No debemos de olvidar nuestro cerebro de reptil.
No está al fondo.. funciona… junto con el sexo…
para que la raza humana no perezca…. perezosa…
pero la guerra… es algo distinto.
Las hormigas luchan…
la verdad… esque no se que pasa.
Pero tus “amigos”tienen angelitos que pueden ser demonios disfrazados… aconsejan… con aura de chiste fácil…para romper la gravedad del embiste de egos.
Me encanta la luna… hechizando a los machos beligerantes… luna que ha enviado sus mensajeros… para disfrutar de su puro desconcierto.
En el fondo son uno… o muchos…. pero la luna.. es única.. y casi eterna.
Rosa (precioso Danilo…. )

Si supieras el origen de esta imagen…, pero mejor no. Gracias a Dios estás por encima de cualquier banalidad. En realidad esta imagen la hice hace como un mes atrás, había una sombra densa, un ambiente enrarecido por aquí, no precisamente conmigo, pero no pude dejar de sensibilizarme con algunos que resultaron heridos, y que ahora mismo ya no están. Era (es) mi manera de decir las cosas; quizás ya no haga falta. En fin…
Mil gracias, de nuevo.

Good one! The visually pleasant look of the image enhances the alarming nature of the underlying message ‘you cant trust appearances’.
Danilo Lejardi replied
Happy to see you liked it; I was a bit worried trying to keep the original idea of mixing several image sources with different styles. But I think it doesn´t look so bad after all. Thanks a lot!

The words are so true. And the piece does justice to the words. Yes, we always fight with each other and there is always mistrust. Oye, pero ese cuadro puso una sonrisa muuuy grande en mis labios. A la vez es muy comica. Great job.

Oye, y yo me alegro mucho que te haya gustado; gracias por el comentario!!!
