"Bitten: A Captivating Collection of Stories and Images" Delve into a world where the sweetness of a jam doughnut is overshadowed by the bite it leaves behind. Witness the innocence of children on a beach, their laughter echoing through the air as they play, unaware that danger lurks nearby. Half-eaten apples serve as reminders of past encounters, where battles were fought and wounds were inflicted. Like Saint Euphemia, who met her martyrdom in Chalcedon around 307 AD, these stories speak of sacrifice and resilience in the face of adversity. Intriguingly, an inscription from 1874 warns us about rabies - an affliction that can leave its victims bitten and lisping. It serves as a chilling reminder that even nature's wonders can hold hidden dangers. From leafcutter ants diligently harvesting banana leaves in Costa Rica to dramatic scenes depicting girls attacked by Pescicans along Dalmatian coasts, our journey takes us through various landscapes where being bitten becomes more than just physical pain; it becomes symbolic of life's struggles. The fight between man and beast is vividly portrayed in lithographs capturing both the mutilated war with a wolf and adventures at the bottom of the sea. Each image tells tales filled with bravery, fearlessness, and survival against all odds. Finally, we encounter "The Brazen Serpent, " its right hand section painted on canvas. This powerful artwork reminds us that sometimes we must confront our fears head-on to find healing amidst chaos – for only then can we rise above being merely bitten by life's challenges. Join us on this captivating journey through time and emotions as we explore what it truly means to be "bitten.
