Rhinoceros - Inspirations

THE INSPIRATION

What happens when everyone turns into a rhinoceros? It’s such an absurd idea, but one that is inspired by the play written by Eugène Ionesco. The rhino is the ultimate symbol of an animal whose existential struggle was the result of mankind’s collective brutality. This art piece recognizes victims of humanity, and challenges all victims to introspect what can or cannot be done to un-victimize themselves.
