This goes back to an idea that has come up in my work from time to time, IE the tension between two opposites. Whether they be conflicts within the individual, between individuals or communities or between nations this seems to be an omnipresent state in the psychology of the human zeitgeist.

There are no answers here and these two war gods that I have arbitrarily named as Lua, a minor Roman Goddess and Segomo a Gallic god are poised forever to be in conflict and neither will ever be pulled into the water, suggesting that humanity's penchant for war may never be overcome. Serendipitously, the landscape source in this painting is on the Fluela Pass a few kilometres above Davos, where the EU, the IMF and the global powers frequently discuss about what to do with the world economy.
