Touching zoo

by Mia · Moscow, RU

This work was born from impressions from numerous visits to a touching zoo, where animals often hide from people - in the depths of enclosures, behind rocks, in the shadow of their shelters. There is something mundane, ordinary, but also poignantly sad about this. After all, a horse is a creature born to run, for the wind in its mane, for endless spaces. And here - only wooden partitions, the smell of hay and endless waiting. The enclosure is cramped, shady, and it seems that the animal has deliberately turned away, withdrawn into itself, avoiding contact - the paradox of this touching zoo. Only goats are happy
