Necessary Evil, 2026

An image of the Shakchunni running through the woods with the severed heads of her victims in her hands. Around the illustration in a frame that depicts a life cycle of a snake.

“This piece captures the Shakchunni running through the woods, holding the decapitated heads of men. Rendered like a flash photograph, it feels as though she has been caught in a fleeting, unguarded moment. The work centers her story and presence as a being, while the border shows the life cycle of a snake, reflecting transformation and cyclical change.”
