Digital Animal Arts

I’ve first though about just making another set of interesting images without writing anything but then I realized that it’s going to be better if I put few words even if they don’t have anything in common with images. And also, it’s not true that it’s not going to have anything in common. After all, it’s about animals definitely. While surfing, I’ve found few lines about something Mother Teresa have said when someone asked her why should we love animals. Here is the answer:

1. ”Because they give everything asking for nothing back…
2. Because they are defenseless amid men’s weapons and power…
3. Because they are eternal children…because they don’t know hate…or war…because they don’t know about money and only seek the protection of a shelter…
4. Because they explain themselves without words, because their eyes are as pure as their souls…
5. Because they don’t know about envy or grudges, because forgiveness comes natural to them…
6. Because they love with loyalty and truthfulness…
7. Because they recognize and appreciate respect…
8. Because they don’t buy love, they just expect it…
9. Because they are our companions, eternal friends that never betray…
10. And because they are alive. Because of this and a thousand other reasons they deserve our love!
11. If we learn to love them like they deserve, for being creatures that feel, suffer and need us, we will be closer to God”.

Humans have always wanted to get as close to animals as possible–and not just to hunt them. Animals have always inspired our imaginations, thrilled our spirits, and tugged at our heartstrings. It’s a partnership that will continue as long as humans share space on earth with other living creatures.
