Steve Cutts always delivers art that holds a deep meaning, but he has really hit the brief with this piece. The picture depicts well-dressed rats running into the underground train, pushing each other to get ahead. This piece is about the life we live, and how we take on each day.
Today, we live in a world that has turned into a rat race. We are constantly running against the clock and everyone is always too busy to make time for the things that matter. We are constantly running to get ready, running to get to work, running to get home, and even rushing through sleep. We no longer feel like humans - we are rats trying to get ahead in the race. This thought-provoking piece is exactly what we need in order to visualize the mindless path we have taken on, and how it is ruining our lives.
