Omen

“Omen” is a print of an oil pastel drawing depicting a moth positioned inside the eye socket of a red skull. The tightly cropped composition keeps the focus on the skull’s eye and the small figure of the moth.

The moth connects the image to ideas of instinct, transformation, decay, and warning, while the skull directly represents mortality. Bright red, yellow, and green create strong contrast and give the drawing a graphic, immediate appearance.

The original drawing is oil pastel on paper.
