Title - Sacred Heads Of The Divine Beast ,2025.

Medium - Mixed media.

Description - This art piece is my own interpretation of the Catholic religion and faith. Each one of the heads embodies a pivotal moment in divine narrative; sin’s origin( the goat) Christ's sacrificial atonement( the ram) and the Lords gift for purity( the lamb). The crown of thrones along with rusted nails mirrors shows how the people mocked Jesus for his claim of being “King of the Jews” and to humiliate him, meanwhile the fig leaf, coiled serpent, and the apple( forbidden fruit) whispers the curse that God was given after the sin of Adam and Eve. Showing that it would cause sins and thistles throughout mankind. Surrounding the deity is a lush garden of fruits both sweet( peaches, pears, apples, grapes) or sour ( lemons) each of these symbolizing either spiritual growth or the temptation that still lingers in our world today. Trough this religious art piece fused with the natural imagination, hooves root into earth even as heads ascend toward heaven I aim to spark reflection of my religion on free will versus grace.
