Original artwork description:
Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi" ("What is allowed to God, is not allowed to the goat").
An evocative watercolor artwork delves into the notion of divine privilege and the stark contrast between the realms of gods and mere mortals, encapsulating the eternal struggle between submission and defiance against the immutable laws that govern our existence.
Capturing the essence of mortality through the delicate portrayal of a dead goat's skull, this artwork also serves as a poignant reminder of life's impermanence and the beauty found in embracing the natural cycle of existence.
Artwork on handmade heavy cotton paper.
Materials used:
