This artwork is an invite to all the human kind to think about what there is in their dishes, or at least, what it was.

People are free, they can chose what to do, but what they "can't" is to remain in ignorance to keep their conscience clean.

Rip the fucking veil that TV and advertising sawed on your eyes.
If you want to stab the creature that is in your dish do it! But with awareness, not with ignorance.

Work made in Maya and Photoshop in 23 hours.
I was very stuck on this. Special thanks to Keith Thompson and to Kun Vic, cause they helped to unstuck.
