'Because things don’t appear to be the known thing; they aren’t what they seemed to be neither will they become what they might appear to become.'

Horses have been bred to gratify human necessities. For centuries, the horse has been the vehicle for transportation of goods and people. Above all, it has been a symbol for war. When motors were invented, the horse retired from its often ‘inhorse’ duties, and we could advance our propensities in other ways.
The picture has something to do with tourism, expansion, and war. More deeply, it reflects something about the human mind, which flaunts its inventiveness -- turning everything into a tool. In the prancing horse on the Ferrari logo, we may gaze and wonder:
what or whom is served with this kind of human resourcefulness?
