I wanted to show the inception of man near a shoreline. I tried to depict this birth and creation of man as he breaks free from a skin like egg or shell. The bones, flesh, veins, and muscles form the man and actually create the overall unification of the composition at the same time. I even place the silhouette of a body as the tear in the shell to create depth and balnce the elements. Copyright 2004 by Imaginative Pencil and myself. All rights reserved.
