“The Beast Within”

“The Beast Within” is a piece that represents the internal struggle against fears and anxiety that arose during the pandemic. The artwork shows a beast holding a skull, symbolizing the confrontation with mortality and deepest fears. The image of Janet Leigh screaming, as in the iconic scene from “Psycho”, emerges from within the beast, suggesting that fears and anxiety scream from within, seeking to be released. The piece reflects the idea that, in times of crisis, the beast within us can emerge, and we must face it to overcome our fears.
