The Scapegoat
‘And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited.’
— Book of Leviticus
‘I am keenly interested in complex emotional states of humans surrounding animal sacrifice – among them guilt, grief, regret, shame, hope, ecstasy, catharsis, redemption, and fear of exile…’
— Emma Ferrer
