"Sexual Life Rules" is a provocative illustration that delves into taboo themes such as zoophilia and bestiality. Created in a Surrealist style, it resembles an Ukiyo-e inspired woodcut printed on textured paper. The artwork aims to challenge societal taboos and provoke thought about the prevalence and understanding of unconventional desires, highlighting that, although difficult to quantify, studies estimated around 2% of the population experienced zoophilic tendencies in 2021. Its stark imagery invites viewers to confront uncomfortable facets of human sexuality.
