Tom -(Minh Trung Hoang)

Do you love animals or just parts of them? If you answered ‘parts’, you’re not the only one. Fashion products made from animals’ skin and fur can look gorgeous. But animals don’t look gorgeous anymore when a part of their body is stolen. You can find out more why we should love and respect animals as living creatures from the Animal Australia website: https://www.animalsaustralia.org/issues/fur.php

My artwork, Love Animals, criticises the use of animal skin and fur for fashion products, and the cruelty associated with them. It portrays a stylish woman who displays her wealth by wearing a diamond ring, a wool coat, and a crocodile bag. She is depicted as a robot since she doesn’t have a human heart to empathise with the pain of the animals she wears. Like many people in modern society, she mechanically and blindly orients her life around monetary values, not moral ones.
