Born Wild, the symbolisation of our drives

Prend gare au crocodile lorsqu'on l'accoste...
Voilà une bonne jeffade pour le weekend ;))

wow, ça c'est de la blague de parisien....

~~ Born Wild, the symbolisation of our drives ~~ by Blueju38.

--> Here is the first shot from my trip to Geneva. Starting with a great sculpture by Richard Orlinski: "BORN WILD, THE SYMBOLISATION OF OUR DRIVES"
This sculpture is one among a lot and his symbolisation is:
"Our impulses are affected by the most primitive part of our brain:
The reptilian brain is the seat of our behaviour survival, control of the territory,
Reproduction among other things, it acts on this without making reference to the past, experience or memory.
What's more significant that the crocodile to represent this body,
Common heritage of our two species, which have managed to adapt and survive whatever the cost!"

Link to the work of Richard Orlinski:
