The man and baboon look into each other’s eyes pondering their existence, origins, and purpose as this painting plays with misinterpretations
made about the theories of evolution and biblical concepts of “man being made in God’s image”.
The man may appear to be a “superior ape” to the baboon, the same way that man projects the image of himself onto his deities. The man, thinking of himself as superior,
sits at a table in the middle of a wasteland that he is responsible
for creating. The baboon exhibits
an evolved level of sophistication
as he raises his martini (yes, it is visual sarcasm). Which animal is truly superior? Which is more God-like? The “brothers” toast “to evolution” while a life-force energy electrifies their hi-tech halos.

Trinity
A janitor (a person that cleans up after everyone else) stares out to admire a beautiful sunset.
At his back is the “Trinity,” represented by three empty chairs that appear to float - they appear groundless. The Trinity “mystery” of Christian
faith states that there is a “Father,” “Son,” and “Holy Ghost,” and yet all are the same “One God.” The implication
of this painting is that the man has turned away from the concept of “God” as it is taught and used to manipulate
people's minds in Christianity
and turned toward a “God” that is beautiful and observable.
