Artwork mission

For centuries, animals were perceived like objects with no feelings or needs. This artwork series moves beyond the concept of animals as property and challengers viewers to see animals as individuals deserving right to welfare, care and respect.

Each portrait is a deliberate act of advocacy, documenting an individual's unique preferences and behaviours, their hobbies and favourite items.
