Two Friends in One

This cow seems to be making a new friend: she’s regarding the painted face with undisguised curiosity, as if looking for a kindred spirit. We have no doubt that she has a fondness for social interactions! Perhaps the image evokes memories of her early herd before she came to the farm.

The nostalgic motif invites reflection – on the interconnectedness of all living beings and the ethical questions raised by the treatment of livestock. A gentle appeal to empathy, wrapped in a lighthearted illusion.
