THE 'RODEO' IS AN ICONIC AMERICAN RITUAL, THAT ASSERTS A PROFOUND MASCULINE ATTITUDE IN THE TAMING OF THE FORCE OF NATURE. ALTHOUGH GRAND IN CONCEPT, THIS WORK ATTEMPTS TO EVOKE A SYMBIOSIS AND HARMONY IN WHICH MAN AND BEAST SHARE A MOMENTARY CO-EXISTENCE BOUND BY AN EXISTENTIAL COMPULSION THAT FORMS A POETIC SENSE OF EMBRACING THE DESTINIES, THAT BIND THE DYNAMISM AND ENERGY OF MAN AND BULL AS A MTYHIC REALITY.
