The Consumed

The Consumed is the second piece in the Ojuju Saga series. The Consumed depicts a dark and ominous scene with deep shadows and a pervasive sense of foreboding. At the center of the image, we see a seated figure in the mouth of the Ojuju. The gigantic head of the Ojuju represents how enormous our fears become when we let them fester. Despite the overwhelming sense of terror emanating from the scene, there is also a sense of comfort and familiarity in the way that the figure seems relaxed in its mouth, unaware of the danger they are in. There is a sense of resignation, comfort, and acceptance in the way the figure sits comfortably in the mouth of the Ojuju, the personification of everything they fear. They seem to have surrendered to the power of their anxieties, finding a strange sense of comfort in the chaos and uncertainty around them. Until it is too late.
