This piece is from a 5 part project titles #fakequine. Each panel shows a different piece of technology, like this camera. Each panel also has the same up-turned lip horse in some form; this camera has the horse in focus as if it were taking the picture. Notice that it is somewhat cropped, it doesn't show the entire scene nor situation. The camera only shows the horse and a second horse with some background. To an uninformed viewer, it looks like a cute shot. In reality, it is not. The horse is actually demonstrating the Flehmen response, which is when a horse "traps" a scent in their nose to get a better smell of it. Most likely that scent is from a mare, and the horse is highly enjoying the sweet smell of a pretty mare, and definitely wants to hook up with said mare. Basically, the horse is doing the horse version catcalling. Definitely not cute.
