A horse wears the skin of a cheetah with a leash the color of sky—unnatural camouflage against an artificial pink backdrop. Above, a lone cloud looms like a misplaced thought.

This piece plays with identity, performance, and disguise: the animal dressed in a predator’s coat, poised but not dangerous. The contrast invites questions—do we wear patterns to blend in, to intimidate, or to amuse? And who’s holding the reins?
