THE PLAGUES OF EGYPT

LEGEND PROJECT

The goal of this project was to tell the story of a myth or legend of our choosing. I decided to take on the Plagues of Egypt, from the Book of Exodus. A lot of us grew up hearing Bible stories, and as a result of this tend gloss over the chaotic and grave nature of them. In this work, I tried to emphasize the horror of each plague. The God responsible for this is not the God who loves and forgives. This is the work of the wrathful God. The god that punishes.
