Garmr, 2024

9" x 12" Watercolor on Paper; unframed.

This creature, stitched together from a multitude of human faces, moves with the unsettling unity of a single will. It calls to mind the hound Garmr of Norse myth, guardian of Hel’s gates, yet here the beast is no mere guardian—it is the sum of those it has devoured, wearing each visage as both trophy and burden. Its many eyes, some wide with terror, others dull with resignation, speak of countless voices trapped within, echoing in an eternal chorus. Like the Greek Chimera or the many-headed Typhon, it embodies the monstrous convergence of lives into one abominable form, a reminder that in myth, the boundary between hunter and the hunted, captor and captive, can dissolve into something far more terrible.
