I was told to say these words… 2010 / 2011
Fibreglass, metal rack, neon, sound, goat and cowhide
While it is almost forbidden to treat the pig as a domestic animal, growing up in a Muslim family, prejudiced feelings were instilled in me from a tender age. (…) Perceiving life through this animal, which is cloned by the structure of a pig and the hide of cow, I tried to create a vague trust on a new product. In the installation, I have wrapped the fibreglass pigs with goat and cowhide, and inserted a neon word piece - "Ma", meaning mother.
