This is a contemporary artwork named "Born" made by Kiki Smith in 2002. I like this artwork because it seems like the artist wants to tell us a story about it. The impression for me is about the relationship between animals and human beings. I think maybe the artist is talking about we should protect our environment and animals. The woman is born of a deer, and her feet are still connecting to the deer. It looks ridiculous, but if we think a little deeper, we may get an idea about how important animal to us. We are living in the same planet, and they are our friends. However, the artist said that the artwork just came up into her head and she really didn’t know what it was. Anyway, that’s just the saying from the artist. When we are looking at an artwork, the stories come up by ourselves are the most important. Whatever meaning the artist created for it, this piece of artwork made me think.
