Janine Antoni

At first, my reaction was only: This is a weird piece of art. But looking at it again, I think I see it as a statement about the (often forgotten) link between what's beautiful and what is natural. The blackness of her hair and the shiny black color of the animal, coupled with the gentleness with which it seems to be nuzzling her, gives a feeling of her being at peace and completely unafraid. I like that.
