Abstract [en]
This research and artistic work is focused on the intersection of Art and Activism, and visually communicating the inherent suffering caused by human’s dominion over animals. In communicating suffering and dominion over animals, I aim to show and question the social norms that construct and support these discriminatory attitudes and practices towards non-human animals.
My overarching practice explores the features of illustration and activism and how they can be combined. I explore different mediums and styles, resulting in a variety of artistic expressions. These expressions are then combined with an activistic purpose.
