Artwork description
“O beware, my lord, of jealousy; it is the green-eyed monster…” — Shakespeare
The Green-Eyed Monster presents jealousy as a corrosive force rather than a fleeting emotion. Set within a desolate desert—an inner landscape of abandonment—the figure lies exposed, caught between dissolution and awareness.
The blue mask remains intact while the body falters, suggesting emotional survival detached from the self. A green current threads through the figure, not destroying flesh but erasing inner coherence.
Cacti and peyote mark thresholds of painful insight, while a butterfly—a Mesoamerican symbol of the soul—hovers uncertainly between escape and return. At the chest, the Yollotl, the Nahua heart, glows faintly, overwritten but not extinguished.
The work depicts not violence, but unmaking: the quiet disappearance of identity under the weight of jealousy.
