the Wild Man

The Wild Man is a mythic or folkloric figure representing a primal, untamed human nature living outside of civilized society. Often depicted as a hairy, savage figure, he embodies the human connection to nature’s raw, instinctual qualities. Historically, the Wild Man appears in art, legends, and stories across cultures, symbolizing both fear of the wilderness and a fascination with our primitive roots. In some contexts, he serves as a reminder of the importance of balancing civilization with an appreciation for innate, natural instincts.
