Sweet Mourning Lamb

“Sweet Mourning Lamb” uses the raw, imperfect texture of existence, where everything is already rotting, yet life stubbornly continues. It is a reflection on the human condition, explored through the metaphor of sheep living in a world full of decay.

Drawing from themes of suffering, redemption, and existential questioning found in Dante’s "Divine Comedy", Lora Webb’s "Encampment", John Berger’s "Why We Look at Animals?" and Ethel Cain’s "Ptolemaea", this work delves into the tension between innocence and decay, life and inevitable death.

In this decaying world, the sweet mourning lamb cries out for an answer. But why mourn what is inevitable?
