Artists often explore the relationship between humans and animals in their work by portraying animals as symbols or metaphors for human emotions, behaviors, or societal issues. They may also depict interactions between humans and animals to reflect themes such as companionship, exploitation, or the blurred lines between the two species. Additionally, artists may incorporate elements of anthropomorphism, where animals are given human characteristics, to challenge viewers' perceptions and evoke empathy or understanding towards the animal world.
