Exterminating Angel by David Avery is a powerful allegorical etching that draws on biblical and mythic imagery to explore judgment, destruction, and moral reckoning. A winged, muscular figure descends through turbulent clouds, wielding an industrial hammer-like instrument that merges divine authority with human technology. Around the figure, the landscape fractures—trees splinter, debris scatters, and smaller figures are overwhelmed by the force of the angel’s action.
