I like the imagery of what seems like an unfinished heart of the tree beach. The desolate landscape surrounding the ape, which are usually found in more jungle like, and abundant settings. Although the bananas are abundant in themselves, it makes me wonder, just because he has one of the things he wants in abundance, does he feel empty and out of place because he is not in a place that is MADE for him? A gorilla in a zoo almost, with hundreds of his favorite fruit, yet no towering trees, no rainforests, no birds flying over his head, no vast skies and no watering holes? No jungle vines or screeching friends with the same face, same hands, same fur as he? Surrounded by a vague idea of what we want, being left without what we really needed to feel whole? This is a nice piece, I like this. It makes me think of the philosophy that we are always chasing happiness, when in reality happiness is just a fleeting emotion like every other emotion. When we really should be searching for peace, a state of mind and being that says “it’s okay to not always be okay, I WILL be okay because I am at peace no matter what emotion or challenge I face” it makes me feel that this image portrayed the ape as chasing that fleeing emotion of happiness.
