Naked with Pigs
Miru Kim is a photographer who created a series called The Pig That Therefore I Am. I think her desire to roll around with pigs is bizarre, however, I admire that she brings to light the similarities between pigs and humans. Kim talks about the dissection of a fetal pig that she had to perform which made her want to explore the equality of humans and pigs after seeing their similar anatomy. In seventh grade I too had to dissect a fetal pig and I never ate the meat of a pig again after that. Today I am a vegetarian and I think this piece of Kim's art speaks loudly about how close we are too what we slaughter, and I think that's something to take a look at.

I am not sure if I liked that or not. I think she had a solid idea but I'm just not sure if I enjoyed how it was executed. But it made me feel pretty uncomfortable (although that could have been the point)
