Decorated Instinct is a surreal staged fine art photograph exploring power, instinct, status, and mortality. A ram-headed figure in ceremonial clothing, decorated with medals, sits beside a skull and candle in an old-master inspired composition. The work combines dark humour, symbolism, and painterly lighting to question the thin boundary between civilization and primal nature. Edition Giclée Print on Hahnemühle Photo Luster 290 gsm.
