Head On
Cai Guo-Qiang’s 2006 Guggenheim Museum installation of 99 lifelike replicas of wolves running Head On into a glass wall is a visual allegory for the human condition. Cai’s pack of wolves, relentlessly charging forward towards a sudden end, represents the will to heroically press on. It is at the same time both tragic and beautiful.
