Lord of the Flies
Title: "Lord of the Flies"
Year: 2018
Dimension: 60 x 80 cm
Media: Acrylic on Canvas
Inspired by William Golding 's 1954 novel of the same name, the overthinking
figure is seen screaming whilst it is being swarmed by a group of
flies.Within the novel , the literary symbol of the "Lord of the Flies"
is a representation of human savagery and evil as the direct biblical
translation of the title refers to Satan. The symbolic gesture of the
flies denotes to the gradual (emotional and physical) decay of the
figure as flies are attracted to rotting flesh. Overwhelmed by the
thought, the figure screams conveying the instinctual human emotion of
confusion proceeded by the feeling of rage.Work in Progress
