I have always loved Egypt. I spent some time there 15 years ago. The religion and culture
are so rich in symbolism. This was my first collage work and uses Egyptian symbols and
combines them with a picture I took of my friend Eric. The title of the painting is a term for
anxiety. The hornet and spider are symbols that reinforce the idea of torment.
