This work renders the bull as a monumental presence, its body built from obsessive, scale-like mark-making that turns flesh into a living tapestry of time, labor, and endurance. Against the densely patterned ground, the sudden bursts of ochre, blue, and rust on the rider-like form and the bull’s red muzzle become emotional accents—signals of ritual, devotion, and the intimate friction between human culture and animal force. The compressed space and near-frontal stillness refuse spectacle; instead, they cultivate a quiet gravity where ornament functions as memory, and the everyday creature is elevated into emblem.
