🎨 Theme and Interpretation

Not Exactly Peaceable Kingdom is a stunning reversal of the idealized vision of harmony often portrayed in traditional allegorical art.
Instead of peace, we see conflict, confusion, and the raw instinct of survival.

Humans and animals are entangled — some fighting, some fleeing, some simply bewildered.
The mass of bodies reflectschaotic interconnectedness, a visceral reminder of howviolence, fear, and misunderstanding often underpin attempts at coexistence.

It’s abrutally honest reflection on our contemporary environmental crises, societal divisions, andthe fading dream of universal harmony. 🧩⚡
