Create a symbolic scene inspired by a verse from the ancient text, Isaiah 36:6, 'Lo, thou trustest in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his hand, and pierce it: so is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all that trust in him'. Represent the verse through a man leaning on a frail, broken reed staff, located on a terrain evocative of the landscapes of ancient Egypt. The staff pierces the man's hand, illustrating the folly of misplaced trust. Ajax the king, standing as a symbolic figure for Pharaoh, watches on in the distance.
