Mister Tao

The summit of a mountain usually represents the destination and end of a journey. For the small and serene Mister Tao, it represents a simple stage in his ongoing quest, which perhaps will never end.
«The most beautiful phrase I remember in my life was said by a child: "What is a drawing? It's an idea with a line around it." It's beautiful and represents my entire life.
For about thirty years, I've tried to see living beings from afar, and like a cartoon, the further I get, the more they become microorganisms, bacteria that conquer and destroy everything. Sure, they've made many wonderful discoveries and inventions, but we can't judge them solely on the basis of a few enlightened figures. It doesn't take much to see how humans change when they become numbers and no longer people. That's why, in the third episode of Sapiens?, humans are depicted in silhouette, becoming symbols of destruction. So, as a symbol of life, I chose the bee, because it's said that if it were to become extinct, we would soon disappear with it».
