Feels a tad too "thesorisized".

I think it might need more to bring it back to the human condition (cuz, well - its not really about bulls, is it?)

the imagery includes a definitive female presence. a bull's horns resemble the placement of ovaries and its snout can be compared to something else that's wet and slimy. i don't believe that artists should have to explain their works, so i'll say no more.
