Some images from art book "Fight for Harmony" by David Nicholls

'Fight for Harmony' is a 70 page book of paintings in which a "heroine" fights to transform evil into good. The book is intended to offer a fantasy alternative to the traditional action hero who tends to shoot and kill evil. 

The "heroine" represents (the best of) human culture or civilization, "evil" consists of rampant base instincts. In the end, after a prolonged struggle to "heal" and "mature" evil, both good and evil make sacrifices and unite to form a harmonious whole. The freedom and unity a community can then enjoy is represented by numerous individual "parts" continuously rearranging to form a series of contrasting eco-communities.

The book was intended to be utter fantasy, something desirable but currently impossible. But since making the book I learned of mentalization therapy which is being used to treat anti-social personality disorder and narcissism, so maybe evil can be transformed into good. 

I also later read in a New York Times review of the book 'The Dawn of Everything' which claims "recent archaeological discoveries show that early humans, far from being blind automatons moving in evolutionary lock step in response to material pressures, self-consciously experimented with "a carnival parade of political forms" ". So perhaps a deliberately, continuously, self-transforming society is not impossible either. I am very skeptical of the influence rationality can have in successfully reshaping society, instincts, especially for domination, are in charge I think, currently at least, it's conceivable they weren't with "early humans".
