The piece is inspired by the obscure barely discussed or considered highly ethical aliens hypothesis regarding the Fermi paradox. The White beings – a highly ethical highly advanced race of alien beings whose main activity is searching the |U|niverse for biospheres and annihilating them, in an instant, out of compassion.

The tree is shaped a letter U for the universe. The White being is traveling across the U symbolizing travel and search across the universe. The tree fruits are symbolizing other Earth like planets and the creatures on them are symbolizing the carnage or immense suffering that is happening on each. The White being’s annihilator device is shaped as hearth symbolizing mercy killing or ending of life out of compassion for all the suffering sentient beings.

This one took many weeks to finish. Initially I wasn’t even sure I’d be able to pull this one off due to all the creatures needed, needed perspectives, lighting etc. but, by putting enough time and effort I managed to finish it more or less successfully.
