"...COMMUNITY, IDENTITY, STABILITY."
------Brave New World
This art work is based on Aldous Huxley's novel : Brave New World.
This scene is the first time when John Savage met Lenina Crowne.
Lenina is from the Brave New World which influenced by the Utopian cultures, and John was born on the reservation in a city called Malpais. He grew up as a hybrid of the Indian and Utopian cultures, with a volume of Shakespeare as his guide to life.
After several days Lenina continually tries to sleep with the Savage but becomes frustrated by his unwillingness. After she strips in front of John, he tries to beat her. Lenina visits John at his lighthouse at the end of the novel, and he starts to whip her.
So this scene is actually the Indian and Utopian cultures first conflict with each other and the dream of Brave New World of John starts to distroyed...
"It isn't only art that's incompatible with happiness;
it's also science. Science is dangerous;
we have to keep it most carefully chained and muzzled."
