Yong Ho Ji, a Korean artist uses old tires to make cool sculptures of animals including sharks, horses, monsters, etc. The story he is trying to convey is a warning about the dangers of genetic manipulation.

Ho's concept of mutants grew out of his life in Seoul, where there is fierce political debate over genetic engineering. In school, Yong Ho read Darwin and was galvanized by how his theory of evolution applied to man's manipulation with nature. Already, he says, cats and dogs are bred to emphasize their domesticated traits and downplay their wild sides. The sculptures can be taken as warnings; if we're not careful, we may soon lose the ability to see animals in their natural state altogether.
