The world is a ZOO - Gorilla

"Gorilla" Sculpture / Digital NFT Sculpture
Dimensions: 140x100x120h cm

This sculpture is the fourth piece in the series dedicated to animals on the brink of extinction due to human activities. The gorilla is depicted in a moment of innocent play, carefully building a rocking horse entirely composed of golden bullet casings.

Piece by piece, it stacks the casings with an absorbed air, a gesture filled with naive curiosity, unaware of the sinister symbolism they hold. What seems like a simple, playful action transforms into a powerful reflection on the transformation of violence into play, an unsettling parallel with the real threats these animals face in nature.

This surreal representation overturns expectations, turning instruments of destruction into elements of play. The gorilla, an icon of intelligence and primal power, unknowingly interacts with the very force that threatens its survival. The artwork invites the viewer to reflect on the tragic irony of this contrast, highlighting the devastating impact of poaching and habitat destruction on one of nature's most extraordinary beings.

The purity of the white form juxtaposed with the golden splendor of the casings emphasizes the species' precious yet fragile existence. This sculpture becomes a powerful metaphor for the urgent need to rethink our role in protecting these creatures, before their fate is sealed—not by nature, but by the hands of humanity.
