Height : 15 in

Materials : Acrylic paint on canvas
Process : Practiced textures with marker/colored pencil, then rendered animal skin and tool surfaces in acrylic.

Description : This work captures surgical tools used in life-saving operations, arranged on top of animal skin. By juxtaposing the lifeless animal skin with instruments designed to save lives, the work creates a disturbing tension between life and death. This ironic contrast suggests a future in which efforts to save wildlife become futile, emphasizing the urgency of acting before it is too late.
