Govinda Stockade - Limited Edition of 1 Photograph

The inspiration was simply the beauty of the image itself. After I looked at the picture, it sparked an internal analysis of the concepts of 'fate' and/or 'reincarnation'. I don't know enough to know if reincarnation is a 'thing' but adversely? I also don't know enough to say that it doesn't. The subject of a calf behind barbed wire was the catalyst for examining the idea of 'fate'. Why? Two kilometres up the road (from where I captured this image) there is a Hari Krisna farm where the cows are revered, honoured, respected and have the freedom to 'roam' over hundreds of acres, live without fear and to die a 'natural' death. The calf in this picture was born on a 'beef farm' and had a very different existence to its cousins up the road. Contained, restrained and branded- it was an object of income, ultimately bound for a 'truck ride' to the abattoir. I am an animal lover but my intention with this piece is not to judge, condemn nor glorify either 'approaches'. I hope it may stimulate questions or new thought processes within the viewer...but if not? Like any subjective reaction to art-the image doesn't need 'existential deconstruction'. As a mate said? "It just f%$^& rocks. There's awesome cars, barbed wire, a rock-wall and a cute baby cow to boot" I love his lack of 'over-analysis-paralysis' :)
