Cyborg Overture

We've gotten our tickets and we're preparing for Burning Man. Usually, the event's theme is an afterthought - but this year's theme, the Green Man, actually has some meaning. Participants are being asked to consider the whole of humans' relation to nature:
"Some say it's our chief duty to preserve the natural world intact, protected from the ways of man. This is a worthy goal. And yet, if Burning Man has taught us anything, it's that we can collaborate with nature. Only from immediate experience, not ideologies that stand outside of the created world, may we regenerate a sense of nature as it moves within us and flows through us."
This little painting is a riff on that theme.
It reminds one viewer of an "electric-cement-mixer."
