The four beasts that announce the end of times are a recurring figure for millennia, the fascination of man with the apocalypse has accompanied us since that passage was written, the warnings listed there are so punctual, clear and are undeniable, historically that concept crosses us and in many cases (like mine) defines us; a generation born in the fear of war, hunger, disease and death has very clear texts that describe times similar to ours, my study in symbols and the theologies involved falls on this piece more than any other in my catalog, a visual representation of old fears that have shaped our civilizations.
If it has no place in language then it does not exist; likewise that which lacks representation before the eyes of the beholder seems to go unnoticed, the materialization of the biblical warnings that represent iniquitous threats should appear immediately when talking about the struggle of those who call themselves good and that which by its very nature is declared as evil, my intention with my work is to give representation to the invisible and what is not, to then materialize the insubstantial.
