I really do not know what you make of it, but for me a beautiful photo conveying so many meanings.

My reply:

First, the object: to depict life, its instinct for survival, embedded in its one or multiple DNAs. 

The picture attempts to depict one of the oldest surviving creatures in the depths of the oceans, where life on earth as we know it began with a single-celled creature which we called amoeba, and which lives and thrives with a single DNA, no organ, no appendages, not even a brain or reproductive system. In man-made zoology, it falls under the category of Phyllum Protozoa. The creature I have depicted is slightly more evolved, and comes under the Phyllum Rotifera.

One may speculate as to whether, when mankind perishes, with its own efforts and exertions, these elementary life forms will survive. Alternately, whether these most rudimentary and the earliest forms of life, in water, can outlive mankind and continue to exist by adaptation and metamorphosis, until the earth ceases to be a habitable place, not only by man, but also because of the demise of our solar system, etc.

Third, how did I take it? A perforated tin cylinder with a bulb inside was photographed from an angle to resemble a deep-sea creature / species representing millions of similar kind.

I hope this would clarify your query. In case of doubt, please do not hesitate to ask.
