has been for sale for some time, as you have seen.

Trophies examines man’s fixation with defeating and/or overpowering nature in order to achieve a sense of strength. Using objects that are associated with masculinity, my aim is to produce an alternative to a common and naturally destructive form of trophy-ism; the taxidermy head.
