Similarities and Differences

As part of my GCSE Art & Design qualification, I created this piece as my final artwork under the title 'Similarities and Differences'. It shows a Macaque monkey drawn in abstract colours and exposing internal parts of its body to reveal a human foetus inside the animal's uterus. My intended message behind the piece was to illustrate a visual metaphor for evolution; although humans and some species of monkeys share over 90% of the same DNA, they are still very different creatures.
