The series addresses the human tendency to treat animals as raw material. The white marbling effect refers to political use of red colour in history of photography, bringing the subject uncomfortably close, exposing it with a greater degree of intimacy than if it were drenched in blood. The animal meets our gaze as our equal, evoking a hint of sexuality and sense of recognition, provoking our desire to look – and ultimately also to touch.
