"They Walk In His Ways" by Tazeen Quayym

This piece of art is called "They Walk In His Ways" by Tazeen Qayyum.  Found at this link: http://wondereur.com/collections/Tazeen-Qayyum. This is a picture that is of cockroaches which to me I would never do a piece with that insect because they are very disgusting to me.  A lot of art work that is done by Tazeen Qayyum id done with dead cockroaches.  In this artwork, Tazeen Qayyum said, "They look alive now." I do agree with her on that they look alive and it looks like there is a lot of them and it is like they are walking from a hole and coming towards the edge of the paper.  I would really like to know why this artist decided to use red color instead of maybe the color that the cockroaches actually are.  Another question is why does she not have a lot of details in the picture.  Although, they may have thought that they would not need details because as the audience I knew that they were cockroaches.  I do like the feeling of the image coming out towards the audience.  All of her other works are done well and it was hard to just pick one.  This picture is "opaque watercolour on hot press."
