This work is concerned with social and emotionally driven experiences affected by uncertainty, desire and illusion. I surrender to that emotional space, portraying and projecting myself onto the animal as a means to explore the damaged psyche. I attempt to give that intangible force of the psyche, a voice through a subject that is essentially unable to speak for itself. The animal is rendered in isolation, so as to focus inward on absence of connections and unfulfilled desires. An essential ambiguity in the representation of the animal is created in the work by blending desire and absence, tenderness and tragedy, through a mere suggestion of narrative.
