STRIKING SIMILARITY

 

Striking Similarity, acrylic on canvas, 2024. 24" X 24"

This artwork highlights similarities between two types of plants - bamboo and sugarcane, which were a favorite food for two types of animals: pandas and elephants, respectively. Bamboo and sugarcane have several striking similarities - as they are both tall, woody plants of the grass family with hollow stems. Due to the similarities the plants have, elephants can also eat bamboo while pandas are also able to dine on sugar cane, which means they share one thing in common although a river divides them in the painting. There is a bridge for the pandas to cross while the elephants would be able to cross the river. An elephant is even shown offering a sugar cane. The painting reflects that different people could share interests although the interests slightly differ.
