These works subtly anthropomorphize animals, placing them in vulnerable, human-like positions, to encourage a connection between viewer and subjects. Through suspending the animal in moments of tension, the artist encourages feelings of discomfort, empathy, aggression, or fear within the viewer, inviting them to question the level of understanding possessed by animals as well as their potential role in our lives.
