Primal Urge
An Exhibition by EunKang Koh
This exhibition explores the primal urges and instincts of the animals living in the Sierra Nevada wilderness. The inspired creations of serious, yet humorous and whimsical hybrid animals are a poetic vision and an interpretation of the interrelated and close link between human life and the wild animals that live there.
