Although it is part of a bigger picture, I think it could well stand alone too. It is the sort of scary dark place I see deep down in the abyss of my inner self too. In fact, also the theme of the next Tarot card I've been wanting to post for a couple of weeks..
The main "figure" is indeed a scull. I think its supposed to be a goat/ram, but I distorted it and so it could also be seen as a different animal. It does have that pelvis like feeling, now that you mention it! You understand my work better than I do myself!
Yes, your image feels related to the dark shadow place deep inside that we fear to look at within ourselves. Pelvis area, Chakra 1 in yoga land, is this area. But the only way to TRUE happiness is to look at and embrace all of ourself. Accepting our dark and our light, wholeness.
We are just on the same pursuit via different paths... looking forward to that next tarot post. ✨
