The hidden meaning behind art.

Done by the twins of our group, Shankari and Gowri, these are supposed to symbolize  orangutans and show in a humourous way the care we should have for them.

The first depicting a rather serious looking ape, shows that the well being of orangutans depends on us for it is our actions that have brought them to the brink of extinction and as we now hold their future in our hands, it is our responsibility to conserve the species.

The 2nd drawing was done as a representation of the orangutans habitat. Since many perceive orangutans to be monkeys (which they aren't) the banana tree appeals to many as their main food source (in actual fact orangutans eat a variety of fruits besides bananas). The tree serves as a message to us so that we may take better care of the environment to preserve their home.

The 3rd and last drawing indicates the love that we should feel for orangutans. We must treasure them to ensure their survival for if we don't play a part in caring for them, then the question is who will?
