Chimpanzee

The Trophy Series explores the blurred boundary between reverence and ownership. In this limited edition portrait, the chimpanzee is rendered in charcoal with hand-applied gold leaf — symbolising both spiritual significance and human exploitation.

His gaze is still and weighted, confronting the viewer with empathy and memory. The gold leaf flickers like thought or memory, creating a visceral tension between beauty and silence.
