Divine Arrogance

A painting of a sheep with red eyes. The background is solid red with black drips at the top. Above the sheep's head is a broken gold crown. A small gold star and four gold lines burst out from the sheep's chest.

Original Art by Nadia Rausa

This piece holds multiple personal meanings, but the basis of the imagery is inspired by my sleepless nights in which I’ve attempted to “count sheep,” only for a red sky to storm over and glowing red eyes to haunt me. Regardless of my attempts to count, “empty” my mind, etc., I found myself mentally wandering while my body was heavy in sleep deprivation. This piece also helped me process some religious trauma from growing up in an evangelical Christian church.
