Slaughtered Ox

Sculpture Studio

The work focuses on the topic of a bull/ox and its transformations in culture. It features three stylized torsos covered in real cow hide and hung from the ceiling, evoking dead bodies robbed of their individuality. The project reflects this historical transition from the symbol of vitality and help to an anonymous consumer product, thus critiquing the alienation between people and animals in the context of industrialization and contemporary agriculture.
