Avatars! We all pick a pic to represent the embodiment of self. Some select no self and leave it blank, which is a statement too. Some change theirs every decade or two. Some every century. Some every week. Sometimes multiple times a week. I'm a huge fan of multiples 
Now, everyone has a reason for choosing theirs and anyone viewing it has their own, possibly different, perception and experience of our initial intent.
What we interpret from an avatar is a reflection of our awareness. If we see a threat, it could be that or not. The intention of an artist may not be explained and so viewers are left to come to their own conclusions.
The beauty of art is that unless it is stated directly, the assumptions of the viewer are likely incomplete.
Feel free to elaborate on your avatar the symbolism behind it
