PANEM ET CIRCENSES
Protector of Liars and Thieves
In this piece the wolf wearing an old plague doctor mask represents our current medical system. Around the wolf's neck is a necklace with the caduceus. This is the symbol we use today to represent the medical establishment. However it is not the original symbol of medicine. The original symbol was the rod of asclepius which is associated with the god of healing and medicine. The caduceus which replaced it belongs to a different diety. The one that is the protector of liars and thieves.
Compliance
In this piece you see a dead wolf with a toe tag. The cause of death on his toe tag is compliance. Think about that.
"All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others"
Three wolves in fine suits stand at a banquet, sipping wine and feasting on rabbit feet with cold delight. Serving them is a single rabbit—meek, obedient—offering up the symbolic remnants of its own kind. This unsettling scene captures the twisted brilliance of a system rigged from the top: the elite have played a cruel trick, conditioning the masses to serve themselves up on a platter without even realizing it. The rabbit doesn’t resist—it believes this is normal. This piece speaks to exploitation hidden in plain sight, where suffering is disguised as duty, and servitude wears the mask of choice.
