A rhinoceros, rendered with tender gravity, reclines inside an ornate claw‑foot bathtub as if domesticated by luxury, yet never fully disarmed—its horn and mass still press against the fiction of comfort. Behind it, a fractured mosaic of reds and blues suggests an urban tapestry dissolving into cartographic lines, turning the background into a nervous, overbuilt world that cannot quite contain the animal’s quiet presence. The stark contrast between the baroque vessel and the modern, shattered city-field frames a meditation on captivity and care: how civilization packages the wild into curated intimacy, while the creature’s wary eye remembers a larger, unplumbed terrain.
