Acrylic 16" x 20"

Throughout our entire history it is was always a resource game. It all started a very long time ago - to the very beginning of our flourishing civilization: One colony accrued more resources than all the others. Realizing this, they consolidated their power, passed it on to their kinship and started a dynasty.

Over time the rulers grew in arrogance and exploited the labor, resources, and the myths of the masses to control them more and more. Then demanded obedience just for being born inside their sanctimonious patch of ground. Throughout the ages, power changed hands, and the Anttars with the most resources always controlled the Anttars with less. Many denied it, and it was blindingly obvious to others, but they all had no choice but to acquiesce to the system that was inherited to them.

The rulers were also blind. Blinded by their hubris, and could not turn their gaze toward the gilded sword that was dangling above their heads. I don't know what it was. None of the survivors saw it. As far as I've been able to gather we were wiped out by some outside source! By the time we discovered the better angels of our nature it was too late and nature took us out of the resource game forever.
