JUMAN the leech is a modified predatory worm that has the abilities of a warrior or hunter. It will silently creep (stealth), lying in wait (ambush) for a victim and cling on with suction at its rear end. Causing blood to flow freely after a bite, the victim would appear to have been attacked by a much larger creature.
Exhibited in 'Freshwater Saltwater' exhibition @ UMI Arts Gallery, July 2024 - September 2024.
