In "Carried away," the somber portrait of a cow melds with the mechanical form of a ship, symbolizing the harrowing journey faced by countless animals in live export. This artwork captures the quiet despair of a life at sea, where innocence meets the harsh realities of transport. The ship's steel hull contrasts with the cow's gentle eyes, underscoring the tragic disconnection between the animal's serene nature and its perilous voyage.

Through this piece, I aim to shed light on the often-overlooked suffering of these animals, inviting viewers to reflect on the human practices that inflict such suffering. "Carried away" is a visual exploration of vulnerability and resilience, urging us to consider the untold stories carried across the oceans.
