Eagles Nest portrays a world in distress, shaped by human‑driven climate change and relentless industrial expansion. Within the composition unfolds a visual chronicle of environmental threats—poisoned oceans, fractured food chains, polluted skies, deforestation, wildfires, the legacy of DDT, and more. Threaded through these global concerns is a more intimate narrative: an eagle fighting to raise its young, embodying the most fundamental instinct in the animal kingdom. That struggle is symbolized by the eaglets perched beside an unhatched “egg of the world,” a reminder that the fate of future generations—avian and human alike—hangs in the balance.
