COW
Exploring the sacred, the subjugated, and the symbolic.
Cows have been revered as sacred beings in many cultures, but industrialization has turned them into commodities. From hand milking to machines, the warmth of connection has been replaced by cold efficiency.
The bull embodies duality—fragile and patient like a bunny, yet explosive and aggressive when provoked. It symbolizes raw power, fertility, and the tension between human mastery and nature's force.
Once used to track wandering cattle, cowbells symbolize both freedom and control. In the modern world, they echo the surveillance of cellphones and cameras, tethering us to larger systems.
Herd mentality reflects the strength of numbers but also raises questions about individuality. Are we truly ourselves when we belong to a group?
Cows represent nurturing and creation, while bulls symbolize aggression and destruction. Together, they reflect the balance of forces in nature and society.
