Hundertwasser comment about the work:

"One time I was riding my bicycle over a bridge in Santa Marina, near Venice. Some cyclists came from the opposite direction, wearing reflecting glasses. That made a big impression on me. If these glasses had had a slit in the middle, through which the eyes would look, the result would be beings something like insects. The living thing in my painting is wearing a kind of tropical helmet. Its costume is architectural, i. e., it is composed of parcels, like dwelling units."
