Comments from Viewers, in response to the VTS question "what is going on the image"

RAvindra Kompella >> Mother Earth herself in the womb of a creation angel, who would give birth to various life forms through the inherited DNA ( the purple color chord gives a feeling of a DNA structure) and other dynamic creation forces (indicated by the vibrant white color).

Sujata Tibrewala >> ‎@ravindra the woman in the painting looks like the angel of creation . who would be giving birth to various life forms. The purple chord gives you the feeling of the DNA and the dynamic whites in the painting suggest you different forms.. March 30 at 8:28pm · Like

Sujata Tibrewala >> ‎@Trupti , yes I had posted this on my FB albums, but the discussion there had started with my description. When I give my fellings about the work, it biases the viewer's feelings. We have'nt discussed it in this group, hence i started this. Those who have participated in the previous discussion can refrain, but new members please share.. March 30 at 8:30pm · Like

Susmita Nayak Genius>> As I read the description realize the pic brings out all the key points.

What Sujata had in mind when she painted

Scientists now calculate that all living humans are related to a single woman who lived roughly 200,000 years ago in Africa.She was not the only women alive, it just means that hers were the children who survived..

Scientists could trace our ancestory through Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in every living person, which directly descends without recombination from Mothers... Hence all living humans on this earth today are sons and daughters of this Mitochondrial Eve.

It gives us yet another reason for us to belive in universal kinship...

For the birds do not need passports,

and oceans do not adhere to boundaries,

and neither does air buy air tickets

to move across countries... Neither should we..

Time has come to have one flat world!!!
