Mother Nature 2006

"Mother Nature" is a 2006 painting by David Michael Bowers. The painting depicts a nude woman with a wreath of leaves on her head, cradling a globe in her arms. The globe, a symbol of the Earth, appears to be cracked, suggesting a sense of vulnerability and fragility. The woman is situated within a forest setting, with bare trees and a setting sun in the background. Bowers' use of realistic detail and symbolic imagery in this painting invites viewers to contemplate the relationship between humanity and nature, and the potential consequences of our actions.
