Rinoceronte su piedistallo Drawing

The drawing “Rinoceronte su piedistallo” from 2021 features a rhino bust rendered in graphite on paper, enhanced with pure gold leaf accents. Part of the “Animali su Piedistallo” series, it challenges traditional cultural hierarchies by elevating everyday animals on pedestals, a symbol of power and authority. The contrasting geometric gold and gray background creates a sense of displacement, prompting reflection on the human tendency to classify and revere subjects based on cultural constructs.
