Angelus Novus

is a drawing in which the nothing repels, a repulsion that is a parting gesture toward beings that are submerging as a whole.

31. The nothing itself does not attract... it is essentially repelling. But this repulsion is itself as such a parting gesture toward beings that are submerging as a whole. This wholly repelling gesture toward beings that are in retreat as a whole, which is the action of the nothing that oppresses Dasein in anxiety, is the essence of the nothing: nihilation. . . . The nothing itself nihilates (Benjamin, Walter)
