The Gaia hypothesis, also known as Gaia theory or Gaia principle, proposes that all organisms and their inorganic surroundings on Earth are closely integrated to form a single and self-regulating complex system, maintaining the conditions for life on the planet.
The scientific investigation of the Gaia hypothesis focuses on observing how the biosphere and the evolution of life forms contribute to the stability of global temperature, ocean salinity, oxygen in the atmosphere and other factors of habitability in a preferred homeostasis. The Gaia hypothesis was formulated by the chemist James Lovelock and co-developed by the microbiologist Lynn Margulis in the 1970s. Initially received with hostility by the scientific community, it is now studied in the disciplines of geophysiology and Earth system science, and some of its principles have been adopted in fields like biogeochemistry and systems ecology. This ecological hypothesis has also inspired analogies and various interpretations in social sciences, politics, and religion under a vague philosophy and movement.

That is a very impressive, beautiful work. Love the woman and the environment. The Gaia hypothesis itself seems like common sense at first to me.

A very accurate way to think of the world. i have always pictured Gaia like this, always with in a constantly pregnant form. cause she is pretty much always carrying life with in her if ya get what i mean.

That theory alwaqys made the most sense, when you take into account organisms like mushrooms. In any event, great pic!

This is just brilliant~

I love the juxtaposition of the rougher, painterly background against the smooth, fully rendered body of the woman. Her hair is gorgeous, and I love that round little pregnant belly. So sweet.

Just excellent. <3
