Artist's Note I developed the design for the Angel of Death back in March...At the time, I was pretty frustrated with life (fruitless job hunts, boyfriend woes, etc.) Now, however, this image no longer reflects how I feel. Simply enjoy all the details! Symbolism Defined: -There is one cross in this image, hanging from the "Book of Death." -The two tassels hanging from the skull bear the Greek symbol for "Omega," the last letter of the Greek alphabet. It is commonly referred to in the Bible. -In this image -- Death is giving birth -- a symbol of death as rebirth. (For example: The death of a sinful life and the birth of a righteous one. Or, my belief that death is just the crossover from this world into heaven.) -Death is chained, for no matter what happens in life, death is a certainty. -The third eye in the forehead represents wisdom. To me, gaining God's wisdom offers insight into a new kind of life and a new view on death. -As disturbing as this is, I consider this a Christian image. Other images in my gallery that may be of interest: -Angel of Death - Ink WIP -Alpha and Omega -Alpha and Omega - In WIP -God is in the Rain -I Fear Not Death Special thanks to: -=SethraLavode for fractals. -`Nestalgica for fractals. -*resurgere for textures. PLEASE FULL-VIEW! (Image cut by 50% for slightly faster loading time.) |

Horribly intrusive watermarks are tacky. If you're concerned about people stealing your photos, don't post them on the internet.
Photography is the simultaneous recognition, in a fraction of a second, of the significance of an event. (HCB)
