Part 12 of 12 from the series “H’Animalism”

Animals are guided by their instincts—without equating humans and animals, Tom Lohner nevertheless raises the question of how “superior” we truly are to the animal.

The paintings initiate a discourse on instinct, power, and the control of emotion, questioning the subtle boundaries between drive, reason, and social order.
