The artist reconstructed the animals, living above sea level with human beings, and their biological chains to express the relationships between the unnatural states of exploiting and being exploited as well as those of protecting and being protected existing in today's society. By designing an abnormal phenomenon, the viewer may notice that the seemingly normal around them may not be so normal after all, but people are accustomed to it. These dislocations in our daily behaviors temporarily free us from our habitual consciousness, allowing us to gain fresh perspectives.
Animals are naturally more liberated than humans as they live without restraint, and in a sense, they also lead far regulated, by nature, lives than humans. The skinless Sika deer suggests that exploitation prevents one from becoming complete, and animals as "food" on the dishes in our refrigerators indicate the break of the food chain, cannibalism, and the inequality between people in the face of limited resources. Tigers voluntarily tame themselves because they want to live with cows. As a result, the tiger skin eventually assimilates into a cowhide, in turn signifying our own dependency that links one another, forming a relationship of slavery. From the divine perspective, the artist created these alienated animals, observing their hunting and consuming, to reflect on how their lives correlate to the constraints and unspoken rules between human beings.

艺术家重构了与人类共同生存在海平面之上的动物与其生物链，以来表达在当今社会中存在的不自然的剥削与被剥削、保护与被保护的关系。通过建造一种“不正常”的现象，使人们注意到身边的“正常”现象也许并不正常，只是人们习以为常了。日常行为的一些错位使我们暂且从常规中摆脱出来，引起意识的变化从而获得鲜活的观点。
动物比人类更加释放天性，因为它们不受约束的释放，从某种意义上讲，它们也比人类活得更有一套规矩。皮不遮骨的梅花鹿意味着剥削让一个完整的人没办法成为完整的人了；动物作为“食物”，不停地在冰箱中的碟子上更换着，由正常的食物链转为自相残食，意味着面对有限资源时人与人之间的不平等；老虎因为想和奶牛生活在一起而自愿被驯服，最后被同化为虎身牛皮的模样，意味着人们相互之间产生依赖，并且相互间的需求将他们联系起来，奴役的关系便形成了……艺术家以一种上帝视角创造了这些被异化的动物，观看他们的捕猎与进食，反思的却是人与人相处间的约束与潜规则。
