This is my entry for the 'We Humans'contest over at CG Gallery (link to my WIP thread below)

The idea behind the piece: to me one of the defining elements of humanity is our curiosity, the burning need (or so it would seem) to know what's behind the next mountain, to discover how things work and to try our hand at taking them apart and putting them together again, possibly in new ways.

There's greed and inconscience in that, there may be even hubrys (the 'fruit of knowledge' making us self-sufficient and God-like), but there's also the innocence of a child discovering the world and a deep sense of wonder.

I hope my work manages to convey at least a little bit of those elements.

There are some quotes from human history and quite a few symbolic objects strewn around, anyone cares for a little 'treasure hunt'?
