Photography Canon EOS R8 Focal length 50 mm F number f/8 Exposure time 1/20 Silent Venom explores the nature of hidden oppression—power that does not always announce itself through violence, but slowly enters the structures of everyday life. The scorpion becomes a symbol of a threat that is both ancient and instinctive: small, contained, yet capable of inflicting irreversible harm. Surrounded by fragile glass vessels and scattered metal objects, it occupies a space where danger is present but almost deceptively quiet. The transparent bottles suggest institutions that appear empty or harmless, while the sharp objects evoke the wounds left behind by unseen forces. Rather than depicting oppression literally, the work creates a metaphorical still life in which power, fear, and corruption coexist beneath a surface of silence. The danger is not only what can be seen, but what has become so familiar that it is no longer questioned.
