This past week, the project to make was on Surrealism. Upon going over idea after idea in my mind, finding something, starting it, then scratching it a few days later, I conjured this idea. To many, this piece would appear excessively sanguinary although I find all the gore to be necessary for the meaning it holds. The focus of this image, a serpent erupting from someone's arm symbolizes how, inside us all, holds a small amount of evil. The serpent representing Satan, hence the title, Devil to Pay. Furthermore, the size of the snake holds a deal of importance in how it tears a large, painful lesion. Sometimes we must expel evil and terror invasively, which, through this piece, I try to convey holds to be extremely painful and scarring; and yet, the pain would be just as equal to withhold such hatred inside.
