Nature VS. Nurture (2024)
Mixed Media (acrylic, gold leaf on canvas) | 90 x 90cm
From Helen :
"When I created this artwork, I wanted to explore the theme of nature versus nurture and how both genetics and environment influence human development. Environmental factors can affect gene expression, while genetics influences traits like intelligence and temperament. Both interact in such complex ways.
I also wanted to add another layer by considering spiritual beliefs about destiny, purpose, and moral guidelines, which also impact life outcomes. By looking at genetics, environment, and spirituality together, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of human development. It's not about which is more influential, but how they work together to shape an individual's path. The spiritual aspect offers insights into finding meaning and direction in life, complementing both nature and nurture.
