Inspired by the bible verse Jeremiah 17:9, which says, “The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who knows how bad it is?"

I was torn between "Here Comes the Boogeyman" or "Here Comes the Temptation" to be this artwork's title, but I agreed that the former is more appropriate and symbolic in a way that temptations are just like Boogeymen.

In the simplest definition, a boogeyman is a mythical entity with no particular appearance and largely varies across different households or cultures and is used by adults to scare children into good behavior.

This boogeyman, which I depicted in my art, in particular, is the type that lives somewhere in our hearts or, better yet, is a part of our hearts, to begin with--one of the intrinsic qualities which makes us human, that's genuinely lesser of a god and causes us to be fundamentally vulnerable to deceit, flattery, and of course temptation, which eventually leads to sin.
