Observed:
southern white rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum simum) the rhino stands facing forward. neck and shoulder marked by deep skin folds. little movement.

Condition:
two horns; the front horn shortened. surface dry and textured. posture maintained without shift. moisture around the eye.

Notes:
- appreciation.

-texture holds attention.

-the frame invites looking without expectation of change.

-the longer the observation continues, the quieter it becomes.

-the body appears built to endure time rather than speed; time seems to move around the subject.

-like a monochrome study.
