Before you read my thoughts on this painting, would you tell me your thoughts?

This child has no ethnicity and this child will die without interference. The world is a being. A being made of beings within beings. We are all crawling with them. They live on us and in us. They make us sick and they keep us alive. It doesn't begin with our mother's breastmilk. It begins with everything she ate while we grew inside of her, and even before we had a place to grow it began with everything she consumed before we came into being. Nothing is more intimate than eating. Eating is our first and truest love. Hunger is our first desire. Food is the real economy. Food is the primary influence behind everything we do and everything we affect.

"You are what you don't shit."
