This piece deals with the break happening when your warm and tender inner animal looks in the mirror and recognizes its own tormentor: a dog sees a leash, a horse sees a whip, a bird sees black through an oil film, a teenager sees a future adult.
This piece consists of things that purr, play, bite, enjoy, cry from pain, wrestle, threaten, die from poison, are criminalized, are treated, are treated badly.
This piece resists to become human, whatever forms it takes.
