The Camel was God, the Camel was Shot
A bronze camel, rendered with a ghostly white patina, stands as both a sacred and sacrificial figure, evoking themes of divinity and destruction. Terence Koh transforms the ancient, resilient animal into a haunting relic, its pale surface suggesting bleached bone or divine light. The work holds a quiet tension between reverence and violence, inviting reflection on martyrdom, spirituality, and the fragility of the sacred.
