Not much to say about this piece. It was inspired from a bit of South-American art. I love to see religious art of other cultures and it reminds me of the incredible diversity of cultures and peoples that God touches. Some people get on my case for having a crucifix, or a latin sacred-heart, but I wonder why we come to see the elements of our own culture as the only correct way to worship. There is something unique about viewing the cross from the perspective of other cultures. We see things we often forget in our own cultural bubbles. We might enjoy the victory of Christ’s resurrection, but we should also remember His suffering on our behalf in the crucifix or in the crown of thorns that wreaths the sacred-heart. Maybe it is just this one artist’s perspective, but shouldn’t the Art of Worship be as diverse and wonderful as the cultures and peoples God has created?
