“In the BE BEAST series, I portray endangered species as majestic and glorified creatures. In these surreal drawings, anthropomorphized animals are empowered as the dominant species in a hierarchical fictional reality. They are entitled to treat human beings as we treat them in the real world. By pushing the imagery to foster an emotional response, my ultimate interest is to explore the way humans handle animals and shape their meaning.” –Sammy Chong
