In what ways does our level of comfort with ourselves and others provide care for all? Humans along with animals have an underlying need for love, affection and care. Through my art studies I have taken a passion to wanting to display how our comfort reflects in ourselves and in the needs of others., I drew the actions of two or more creatures being close together and how their features play off each other. For example, ducks are extremely social animals and need to be with another for a feeling of security. They often will lay in pairs or in groups close to each other for their physical and emotional health. People are similar to ducks in the way that humans are social. I took a picture of when my sister said she needed a hug. She rested her head on my friend's arm for comfort such as the ducks relayed on each other for their need of affection. Caring for others is shown through our emotional level of the comfort that comes from within ourselves. If my sister was not comfortable or did not feel loved around my friends she would not ask for the hugs in the same way my dog , would not allow me to rest my hand on his head to pet him.
