"Thantaos" is the name of the Greek God of death. Psychoanalysts, however, have adopted the term to refer to the Freudian "death instinct," as a shorthand for human destructiveness. The paintings in this series each use biblical or historical narrative material to explore an aspect of humanity's relationship to destructiveness and death.
