Self Portrait as a Satyr, 2018

The Satyr represents the man (human) existing on the edge of nature and culture, consciously choosing to habitate outside of society and civilization and embrace the animal within, the bodily, the untamed, and the abject. The creature invokes a dual reaction, one of disgust, of revulsion and one of desire towards an unbridled existence free of the boundaries of societal conditioning.
