"Trapped" Artwork

“Trapped” 120x80cm Inspired by these fascinating little creatures. ♾️I stumbled upon a video showing ants endlessly moving in circles. Intrigued by this phenomenon I really felt painting it. But why do they do that? I really wanted to know myself, so this is what I found: 🐜An ant mill is a phenomenon observed in nature where ants get trapped in a circular pattern of movement, resulting in a continuous loop. 🐜This typically occurs when ants lose their pheromone trail, which guides them in their foraging activities. 🐜Without a clear trail to follow, individual ants begin to follow one another, forming a loop that can result in exhaustion and death. To me it seems, in modern society, the phenomenon of herd mentality bears similarities to an ant mill, where people may blindly follow the crowd, even if it leads to negative consequences..
