Guy Carlo is a photographer whose work is currently being displayed in Shaffer at Syracuse University. This piece is of a pink cut-out goat nailed to a wall. While the wood background seems natural, the industrial-looking pink goat seems to mock nature. The nail is put in place of the eye. This could be a metaphor for "pinning" down nature and making it owned by humans. The eye might represent our point of view as people who consume things that are reminiscent of nature. This photograph shows the relationship between the natural and the industrialized realms by connecting the subject to the background with a sharp object. For our mass-produced objects to exist, we must harm nature, the background and foundation of our existence.
