Mother Earth

First non-human theme that I tried.. didn't became what I wanted it to but I see it more like a watercolour-experiment und decided to like it nevertheless! :3
In addition it is again a very emotional subject to me. As we only got one earth, we should protect it.. but instead we do our best to destroy our own planet, our mother. But mother earth and nature are our Life-Giver, so earth is our first priority we have to fight for!
The several colours stand for the life on earth (green and blue) and the fight for life (especially the red-purple). The tendril with dorns symbolizes how mother earth try to protect herself and how she try to protect us, her children. But she is also losing leaves, as she fade away.

The text is from a song by Within Temptation - "mother earth"
