Two-headed horse
The theme of the exhibition is extinct animal species. In some of the works, animals are presented as if they were found in a tar pit all jumbled together: the head of an tarpan has appeared on the ancient whale, and the cow antelope has the body of a manatee. In some works, I present the animals as they were when they were alive.
