Empathy

Series of three, oil on wood, 48"x40"
2016

Humans generally think of animals as units of production, objects to use for advantaging the human. Yet similarly to us, animals feel pain, suffer, and the desire to live and be social.

Over the span of five months, I created large-scale (4 feet tall) oil paintings of humorous human-animal role-reversal scenarios to hopefully foster empathy and reflection on the situations we put animals in.
