Title: Immortality Desired Yet Death Remains

About This Work:

This digital reproduction print is from a viscosity colour etching from a series of work titled Struggle Within Tiamat that explores the idea of creating order out of chaos. For this series, I drew inspiration from creation mythology including the Babylonian creation myth where new realities are brought forth from the body of the vanquished chaos monster Tiamat.

The progressive struggle to order chaos is observed with vibrant colours, patterns and textures. As creatures appear, human forms emerge, and a tree is revealed. Eyes see the struggle in the past, present and future. Hope is born and lost. Immortality is desired, yet death remains.

My personal iconography in this work is based in part on Babylonian, Egyptian and African symbolism.

This digital reproduction print comes with a white matte and illustration board backing, in a clear protective covering. (see photo example)
