Terror At Oblivion's Gate

The pandemic awakened inside me long-suppressed fears regarding the frailty of the human condition and our inevitable mortality. Coronavirus, as an existential terror, has exacerbated my preexisting mental disorders. I’ve been existing in a state of clinical paranoia since June 2020. "Terror At Oblivion's Gate" is a self portrait which exhibits the inner state of my disturbed mind during the isolation of the pandemic.
