Some people belonging to the scientific community are going to the extremes and producing strange things like human ear on the back of a rat by genetically altering plants and animals. They are playing with nature. If it is used for good purpose, it is okay, but if it is meant for commercial use and controlling the world, it becomes extreme science which should definitely be condemned by all. I tried to show what human beings will look like when genetic engineering is used for commercial purposes like promoting tourism.

When I was doing my research work, I used to make a few silly mistakes sometimes & later on after realizing my mistakes I used feel bad. My cousins consoled me several times by telling a story about a famous scientist. It seems the scientist had two cats-one kitten & its mother. The scientist built a house for his two cats. He left two openings to the house – one small (for the small cat) & one big (for the big cat). It didn’t occur to the scientist – who is considered as a genius – that one big opening was enough for both the cats!
A scientist’s mind will be completely drowned in his thoughts & work. It doesn’t take notice of other things that happen around it & doesn’t think about normal things! So scientists behave in weird & stupid ways sometimes! It doesn’t mean that they are stupid or weird. They just don’t care about mundane things & don’t want to waste time by thinking about them & do them very casually as their priorities lie else where. Unless & until they cut off the world around them and completely immerse their minds in their work, they cannot find solutions to the complex & difficult problems they deal with. So I painted a scientist’s mind fully drowned in waves of thoughts about his work.

Some people complain that science also brings with it a few bad things like commercial GM crops, nuclear bombs etc. along with the good it does to the mankind. But according to the scientific community – science is like a knife. A knife can be used to cut throats and spill blood. It can also be used for good purposes like cutting fruits and vegetables. It depends on the person who uses it. Likewise science (represented by a test tube in the painting) can also be used for the benefit of living beings as well as for their destruction. Which way it goes is in the hands of the person who uses it. The choice is definitely yours, Homo sapiens.
