Animals in my work always have someone beside them. It may be a parent, a child, a brother or a friend. I always have family as a theme for my art. Animals care for their children, brothers, and friends, just like us humans. They are on alert in front of us ,so those feelings may not show, and some of us may see them as enemies or as special beings. But once we know their love towards their family, and look at our own families and love towards our children in that light, I believe that our perspective toward animals will change, and that we can live together.
