Venkatesh Kittur, Sovereign (ENTRIES CLOSED - February theme: Wild)

This portrait explores the quiet dominance of one of Earth’s most formidable animals. By isolating the rhino’s face and confronting the viewer directly, I wanted to emphasize not aggression, but presence — calm, ancient, and unyielding. The textures and symmetry reveal both resilience and vulnerability, reminding us that true wildness is not chaos, but sovereignty that exists beyond human influence.
