We live in an era where animals are illegally exploited every day. They are killed for decor and clothing, or caged for entertainment. ‘Our Fates’ is a lino-cut print showing the fates of four different lions. Somewhere in the world a lion is happily living its life, protecting its family, while another has been killed to be used as a rug or have its head placed on the wall. The purpose of this artwork is not to show how sad the life of an animal is, but to question why these things still happen.
