Dissonanz, 1940

It is the birth of nazism. Greed(yellow) with racism (white) and romanticism(blue) creates the nazism(the grey cancer tumor). The nazism mix with pedantism(the brown figure) produces a double edged knife (the semi-transparent ribbon). The knife is a cold killing machine that is ready to cut anything and anyone, including its parents when it gets an order.

Tierschicksale (also known as Animal Destinies or Fate of the Animals), 1913

The fittest survives. You always have to run in order to keep yourself alive. The moment you stop, you become a foundation for others to continue moving ahead. And this process is not pretty - blood, agony, death. No time  to think, no time to analyze. No way you can organize things in advance, to prepare a strategy for a couple of moves ahead. People who are degraded to this situation, are very easily manipulated and managed. This is what Nazis did when they rushed people to the death in concentration camps.
