PARASITE, 2021

Oil on canvas · 50x70cm

​

A tiny humanoid is sitting peacefully in serene surroundings – while the parasites are feasting all over its body. The humanoid is covered by markings of prior feedings, and seem frail and emaciated – emptied of sustenance and energy. Parasites exist everywhere, depleting you of the energy and resources you need to bloom.

 

The surrounding fig leaves draw the thoughts to The Fall of Man and the forbidden enlightenment – the humanoid has realized the presence of the parasites, but this revelation has brought with it the thoughts of shame and vulnerability, that too often accompanies putting oneself first.
