I was raised not by the pack, but by a single kind and righteous wolf. This creature taught me mercy and compassion - debatably, behaviors at odds with contemporary values. What culture identifies as fine or coarse, lewd or decent, profane or sacred is confounding. The art exposes a topsy-turvy world view shared by a population hell bent on destroying itself. I also enjoy a good chew bone now and again.
