Bull 3 (The Golden Steer)

Set against a nocturnal field of dense, leaf-like marks, the cow’s pale head emerges with quiet authority, as though illuminated by an inward lamp rather than external light. Its body becomes a tapestry of jewel-toned scales—reds, golds, and cool blues—turning flesh into ornament and suggesting a life made of accumulated days, rituals, and touch. The taut, calligraphic lines that rake across the flank read like both tether and contour, hinting at the intimacy and burden of domestication while preserving a dignified stillness. In this collision of pattern and presence, the animal is elevated from pastoral subject to emblem—an enduring witness to labor, sustenance, and reverence.
