English: Ecce Animal is a project of artist Diddo.

The artist statement featured on his website states: "Once we were animals. Like any other, we lived in an environment of fear and want. Then, we became 'human' and aspired to be better. We learned to control our environment but the fear stayed, because we never learned to control ourselves.

It is frightening to look at the face of our animal side laid bare by comfortable excess; the spoils of its aggression.

But what exactly is it about this image that is so confronting? Is it this division in our idea of self? Or is it a realization that though we have mastered the outside world, we will always remain subservient to our inner selves."
