This piece marks the inaugural work in the EVOLUTION series, a collection that artistically interprets pivotal moments in the evolutionary journey of animals and their relationship with humankind. Infused with a playful yet thought-provoking narrative, the artwork imagines early humans’ experimental attempts to domesticate and ride various animals. While the horse ultimately proved to be the ideal companion, the endeavor to ride a zebra symbolizes a critical, if unconventional, step in human progress. The underlying message is clear: innovation often requires bold, offbeat choices, and missteps are integral to advancement.

As part of the top collection, this piece is a limited edition with no more than 3 produced. The artwork has garnered special attention and is used for international exhibitions, solidifying its place within the global contemporary art scene.

SÜNDERMANN:

"Why is this one of my favorites? Because it’s powerful and puzzling all at once. It stops you in your tracks with its visual force, but then it leaves you wondering, why? That’s the beauty of it. The best ideas don’t spoon-feed you; they provoke you, making sense only after they’ve already changed your perspective."
