The inspiration for this work came after a hiking trip in one of the most impressive nature monuments on earth: the Grand Canyon. It was interesting to show the power of nature, painting a one thousand-year-old juniper tree growing on a rock, left there in prehistory. So, the animals that I put in this magnificent scenery are quite new to this incredible landscape, which was formed long before their existence. The meaning of the title refers mainly to the above, but it can also be interpreted that the cougar is new to the neighborhood and disturbs the magpies or vice-versa. - CB
