The fourth painting of The Surrender Collection shows the moment Ramses doubts the power of the Hebrew G-d, requiring Moses to act as G-d’s vessel. G-d says to Moses, “Take the staff in your hands,” and as Moses dips the staff into the Nile River, the water turns to blood. Moses’ eyes are closed and his head is hung, emphasizing G-d’s power moving from above to below.
