Proverbs 12:24, "Work hard and become a leader; be lazy and become a slave."

An artful and respectful interpretation of the concept captured in Proverbs 12:24. The piece is divided into two halves. The left half illustrates the image of a determined individual, of Middle-Eastern descent, sweating and laboring with a serious face, suggesting hard work. Their posture is upright and confident, signaling leadership. The right half portrays an individual of Caucasian descent, laying idly with a bored and unenthusiastic expression, implying laziness. Between them stands a subtle, invisible border separating the two halves. The entire scene is executed in the style of line art, following the traditions of old Christian manuscripts.
