The Second Plague: The Plague of Frogs (Yesod /Intimacy – Cold Intimacy)
Mixed media on fabric, 10 ½ ” x 10 ½ ”
Frogs are cold-blooded creatures who deposit their eggs into cold moist holes. Their young receive no parental protection and reflect the emotional state of apathy, detachment and coldness — the inability to connect or experience genuine emotional intimacy. The frogs in this piece were inspired from an ancient Mexican motif from the Museum of Anthropologie in Mexico, DF. The frogs arrive from the heavens as eggs pelting the ground at lightning speed; fully formed frogs bursting forth from their shells. The first two plagues were exacerbated by Pharaohs’s sorcerers who showed Moses and Aaron that they too could cast their “magical spells” conjuring up both blood and frogs; adding their own hand to the misery of the land.
