The Blind Devourers

The Blind Devourers is about a world built on cycles of consuming and being consumed. In these works, creatures, people, and myths exist inside each other’s hunger. Nothing stands alone. Parasitism becomes a quiet structure that shapes life, thought, and belief.

A blind creature covered in eyes moves through this cycle. It can look outward but cannot truly see. Its blindness comes from corruption, from a hunger that has grown beyond understanding. It moves not by knowing, but by devouring.

A peaceful village exists inside the body of a microscopic parasite. The people treat the warmth of its organs as sunlight, the pulse of its throat as sky. They do not question their world, even though it was never meant to hold them.

Zahak from Shahnameh appears as a symbol of corrupt power. After his deal with the devil, serpents grow from his shoulders, demanding the brains of the young. He becomes both predator and host, actively feeding a system that consumes the next generation. Myth turns into biology, and biology becomes ritual.

The works are created using watercolor, ink, and digital painting.

The Blind Devourers is the host’s nested curse: a cycle of hunger and corruption that feeds itself, unseen and unstoppable.
