This piece is a continuation of my series of works which are based on our relationship with nature, and the collective hubris that drives us to believe that we can fully wrestle it to our will. I found inspiration in the ancient myth of the monstrous sea serpent, Leviathan, who represents the embodiment of chaos that threates to envelope the material world.
The viewer is placed in the position of a lone soul adrift in the swirling maelstrom of the ocean. Looking up in desperation for a break in the waves, they find not a life-line to safety, but the menacing tentacle of an unknowable creature from the dark depths below.
