The Treadmill

This surreal piece imagines an aristocratic giraffe engaged in a continuous, graceful stride—an endless journey toward an unattainable objective. Part of a series exploring animal characteristics within reappropriated environments, the work transforms natural traits into a visual narrative of poise, elegance, and character.

The giraffe interacts with its ornamental surroundings, exuding sophistication while asserting presence within a composed, decorative landscape. Its posture, movement, and gesture convey pride and deliberation, creating a dynamic interplay between surreal storytelling and refined visual composition. The piece balances whimsy and structure, inviting viewers to reflect on ambition, elegance, and the journey itself.
