This work is an artistic-scientific research that critically analyzes the relationship between man, that is, Western society and nature through an anthropological prism, with an emphasis on the simultaneous and contradictory aspiration and rejection of animalistic characteristics and "primitive" instincts. The man of the Western, "civilized" society, through education, economy and technological progress, tends to elevate himself above nature and all the characteristics associated with the natural and instinctive. But man is a predator. Behind the closed doors of their elite circles at the top of the social "food chain", a point of development is reached when what was rejected and condemned is fetishized and resorted to debauchery and enjoyment in the extreme satisfaction of basic biological needs - hedonism in food, sex, drink, opiates... practicing selfish pleasures to the extreme harm everyone who is "below" the one who exercises them: other people, the environment, animals. Hedonism is nothing but a return to natural urges and their satisfaction. Human and animal motifs alternate with repeating patterns and layers of abstracted forms of plants and similar organic elements in the works created as a result of the research.
