ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:

Levi’s inspiration for this piece was to show the true horrors of tiger poaching in the illegal big cat trade. Levi wanted to emphasise that people aren’t just seeing these animals as beauty but in fact as gifts or a status symbol. Levi wanted to shock people into what a certain part of these tigers are used for with the hope that they would have a greater understanding.
