RAD 2026
An embodiment of fertility that has been widowed. A product of a society suffering from obesity, another hybrid experiment, a Frankenstein-like monster created from false remorse; the burial of the last male white rhinoceros. A being conceived to be submissive, enslaved within the hypocrisy of creation, transcends itself through the cutting of its own horn. In doing so, it becomes stigmatized by its very creators; through the unmasking of illusion, it turns into a monster ready for sacrifice by its own will, not by an imposed one. A lie turned into truth.
