ASSHOLE

#ASSHOLE

This artwork plays with humor and shock by presenting an unexpected, close-up view of a donkey’s rear, framed like a formal portrait. The elegant typography contrasts sharply with the crude subject and explicit word, creating a tension between refinement and irreverence. It can be read as a commentary on perception—how presentation and framing can elevate or distort meaning—or simply as a cheeky, provocative joke.

Taken on the island of Hydra, the image also draws from a place where donkeys play a vital role in everyday life and movement. There, they become the island’s true “characters,” each with distinct body types, faces, tails, colors, and expressive ears—turning a familiar working animal into a source of visual fascination and individuality.
