About This Work
In *Fontaine-Wolf of flesh and blood*, Rebecca stages a compelling hybrid figure that oscillates between myth and the contemporary body. Drawing on the symbolic charge of the wolf—instinct, protection, predation—she reframes it through a distinctly human, corporeal lens, where “flesh and blood” becomes both material fact and cultural metaphor. The artist’s approach privileges tactile surface and nuanced tonal shifts, building a sense of proximity that feels at once intimate and unsettling.

Rich in narrative suggestion, the piece resonates with viewers attuned to post-human aesthetics and the evolving language of contemporary portraiture.
