“Manicured Monkey” Vernissage

For as long as humanity can remember, we have sought to elevate ourselves above the animal kingdom through reason, culture, technology, and myth. Yet a foundational question remains unresolved: are we elevated above nature, or forever inseparable from it?

🌿 Manicured Monkey approaches this tension using fauna as both subject and mirror to examine the conditions of humanity and reflect upon our species' vanity.
