Red and Turquoise on the Rails
In this painting, the human body camouflages itself with color and animal features, recalling ancient cave art where boundaries between human and animal were fluid. A skeleton marks the presence of mortality beneath surface identity, while the ears, tail, and fur evoke our primal link with nature. These hybrid elements suggest that we are not separate from the natural world but deeply entangled with it both biologically and psychologically. Through symbolic imagery, the work reflects not only a personal narrative but also a shared estrangement from what is “more-than-human.
