Tercio de Muerte

I would like to share with you my most recent storytelling piece. After watching the amazing animated movie Ferdinand (2017) on Disney+, I decided to continue exploring a similar theme—like in my previous work on seal hunting—to support the global message behind it. Ferdinand is a gentle, peaceful bull who loves flowers and refuses to fight. However, he is mistaken for a fierce beast and taken from his home to be trained for the corrida. With the utmost sensitivity to this controversial topic and to Spanish culture, I delved into studying the tradition in depth, aiming to fully understand and experience it in all its aspects—not just superficially. Understanding that it may be emotionally raw and difficult to process, I would love to hear how it resonates with you. Please share your feelings with me :) More details will be published on IG: @dakan_minis Thank you! Dakan / Pavel

This is exceptional storytelling, Dakan! Very raw, very visceral, and very real. I know the story of Ferdinand well — it was one of my favorites as a child. Your shadow series of projects is great!
