Sacrifice

Based on the events of the Iranian protests and the ensuing bloodshed following the electoral fraud, the artist envisioned the sacrifice of a capybara instead of a bull. In Mithraism, the sacrifice of the bull is regarded as a crucial cosmic event that facilitates spiritual rebirth and the cyclical renewal of life. The blood of the bull is believed to nourish the earth and ensure the continuation of life.
