Origin Species, CH Bennett, Fat man - pig
Piggish. Satire on Darwins Origin of Species showing the evolution of a man who eats too much, from a pig. This old glutton, fond of good eating is a natural descendant of the pig, with its pointed ears and elongated snout, but be aware, all is overshadowed by the plate and knife and fork which change into a skull and crossbones that glare down on our piggish friend. A warning to self-indulgent sinners

EDITORS COMMENTS
This thought-provoking photograph print, titled "Origin Species" by CH Bennett, offers a satirical take on Charles Darwin's groundbreaking theory of evolution with a distinctly pork-centric twist. The image depicts an old, portly gentleman, his pointed ears and elongated snout subtly suggesting a familial connection to the swine species. Yet, it is not these features that command our attention. Instead, the man's focus is entirely on the plate before him, laden with succulent pork dishes. As our piggish friend indulges in his feast, a chilling transformation takes place. The plate and utensils, once tools for nourishment, morph into a skull and crossbones, casting a menacing shadow over the scene. This macabre metamorphosis serves as a stark reminder of the potential consequences of self-indulgence and excess. The setting, reminiscent of the 1860s, adds an historical context to the image, further emphasizing the relevance of Darwin's theories during this period. The satire in "Origin Species" is a poignant commentary on the human tendency to overindulge and the potential price that comes with it. The image serves as a warning to those who may be tempted to give in to their baser desires, urging them to consider the long-term implications of their actions. In this intriguing blend of history, satire, and visual storytelling, CH Bennett invites us to reflect on the evolution of our own species and the choices we make as individuals. The image is a captivating reminder that the past can offer valuable insights into the present and the future.
