Coyote Couture-

Allegory of Kleptocracy

The woman is wearing a luxurious fur around her neck similar to that of the dog she keeps on a leash, suggesting the fur once belonged to a similar animal that was deemed less worthy of it. Although it was the dog’s birthright, she apparently earned it through another form of birthright known as generational wealth. This society promotes exploitation for personal gain and calls it success. Those who take advantage are rewarded for being savvy enough to recognize the opportunity. In a better world, these people might be recognized as thieves and hoarders. This all unfolds under the gaze of lazy cats as they rest easy under the trees presuming that as long as she has a dog on her leash they may remain free.
