This artwork is inspired by Michelangelo's "The Torment of Saint Anthony." (The second slide shows the side-by-side images of the inspiration and my art.)
If you are familiar with my work, you know that I use the devil, snake, tentacles, shackles, and chains to symbolize the traumas I experienced in my youth. In this artwork, I've put them all together and myself in the middle to stress the idea of torture and temptation. Unlike most of my previous artworks, this piece shows resistance and a strong desire to escape, move on, and change for the better.
