In response to the Inherent Vice exhibition organized by RISD museum, I designed this print specifically pondering the mink industry back then and how their existence disappeared in nature. Living in natural status is inherent to creatures such as minks but humans isolate and deprive their freedom. This print essentially reminds people of minks’ inherent status in nature as a condemnation of human selfishness.
