The Cambrian Explosion (the Rapid Diversity of Species starting 538 Million Years Ago, Thanks to the Evolution of Sexuality)

This canvas consists of ten rhombi - the whole picture taken together and nine smaller spaces. All animals and plants depicted eventually became the result of the Cambrian explosion.

At the top, there's a bed of rose leaves, implicating the female's expectancy of the male's arrival. Two red, similarly-looking but distinct flowers (a rose and a carnation) are carried in the mouth, indicating a partnership where each comes with a similar yet different offer to their union. The shell, a symbol of the female womb, is another creature of the Cambrian explosion.

In the two immediate spaces below, different-appearing sperms for the growing variety of offspring and species form the breasts of the woman.

Beneath, at the centre, is the head of a tiger - symbolizing nature's urge for reproduction - with a fly located at the female's navel.

On the extreme left is the hand with a fish, indicating that behind the woman she has a food provider.

On the extreme right is the other hand of the male behind her offering the woman a bird as entertainment and adornment.

Below, to the left and right, are the thighs of the woman, one covered with a snake as opposed to the lizard on the opposing thigh - the evolution of two different reptiles.

And, at the bottom, between the thighs, there's a dromedary - a symbol of libido - resting on one of nine clouds of bliss outside the gate of heaven.
