Violence as Decoration

The stuffed animal heads, the bear skin rug, the pheasant feathers as centerpieces— all speak to harm to others as decoration for humans.

It is related to the Native American portraits and furnishings as decorations as conquest.

The pheasant-feather centerpiece connects to Animals as Trophies: animal life becomes decoration and a signifier of wealth.

The chandeliers are made from bear traps. Using traps as light fixtures connects them to Violence as Decoration.
