This artwork is a visual representation of Traditional tribal roles and male responsibilities. In this painting there is a man with a spear in the bottom right corner. This man is hunting for food to provide for his family. The family that is waiting for him in the top left canvas. For this artwork I was inspired by social norms and the difference in gender roles in different cultures and time periods.
