“Beast” is a striking exploration of inner duality—the eternal tension between composure and chaos. One side of the figure stands as a man: calm, controlled, and stoic, representing intellect, discipline, and the human desire to rise above instinct. The other half emerges as a gorilla, embodying raw power, primal rage, and unfiltered emotion. Together, they reflect the complexity of our inner worlds—how strength is not found in denying either side, but in learning to hold both. This piece challenges viewers to confront their own balance between vulnerability and power, peace and fury, logic and instinct. It’s a visual meditation on what it means to be whole in a world that often asks us to be one or the other.
