This piece - entitled Ophelia - is a collaboration between Dutch artists Afke Godstelijn, Ruben Taneja and Floris Bakker. The top half of the lioness is a beautifully taxidermied piece dissolving into globules of seemingly molton gold. The lioness appears to be peacefully sleeping - perhaps insinuating that she is dissolving into a dream? Or is it a remark on the gold trade of Africa? Either way I think that this is a beautiful piece of taxidermy and indeed work of art.
