I have chosen to focus my project on the mistreatment of animals but specifically circus animals and elephants. I have researched the narrative of "Murderous Mary", a circus elephant that was given a human punishment (being hung from a crane) as a result of her attacking a trainer that was abusing her. My final piece represents the emotions behind Mary as she was taken from the wild and forced into captivity, I have produced this work as a statement of rebellion against the circuses that continue to use animals in their shows today.
