About the work

What is the actual state of this fox? Its wetness could be the rain from just a moment ago, or it could be something else entirely—the slick of an industrial mist, a residue it collected from the machinery. The animal looks caught, not by the lens, but by the strange clean boundary it finds itself in, a place where the wild is usually scrubbed away. Where does it go from here?
