Lin May Saeed
Lin May Saeed (1973-2023) is both an advocate for animals and an artist. Despite progressive perspectives, empathy for animals is rarely found in visual art. We depend on animals as a society, and yet, we mostly ignore them, and often deliberately, as comrades. Saeed is approaching this theme with a compelling and convincing lightness, maybe to keep us from turning away from the uneasiness it can provoke.
