Never posted the full image of this one. This was the second piece I made of the series of 15 for the Purple album of Baroness. I provided John with a deluge of pieces to pick from & this one didn’t make the cut. The alligator skull was used again in what would become the centerpiece of the series: Desperation Burns. Here’s a sort explanation about some of the components: I used the alligator as a metaphor for the accident, the primal nightmare from the deep. To stay within the element of water I opted for the lotus flower as the counterpart: the lotus symbol of enlightenment, transformation, also coming from the deep, murky water. The lotus pad was placed like a shield, trying to protect but also conceal, hide. The shells represents homes, shelter & the female sex. -- source link
