In Embrace Deceit I imagine the Hindu Goddess Kali as she seduces victims to their death. Kali is the goddess of time and change, and a symbol of deception and dissolution. Ultimately she represents the consequences of our deceit, which is one of the themes of my work and a reality of life. People are inherently dishonest. Each one of us has told lies that have led to harrowing consequences. Each one of us lies every day; we live a life of lies and it is as natural for us to lie as it is for us to breathe. Just as Kali is flawed, so are we all.
