Item Special Note
Artist Statement: "Do you not know that you are Gods temple & that Gods Spirit dwells in you?" (Corinthians 3:16) I'm not particularly religious, but I do believe in God. Initially, with this piece, I wanted to appropriate the Anglo-European art historical process of creating the image of Christ to fit my own ethnicity. Though ethnically Middle-Eastern-Jewish, many artistic depictions of Jesus have shown him more European & fairer skinned. By creating the image of Jesus with Asian features, I wanted to reflect on the idea that God could be universal, to exist alongside European depictions, yet still be the same. In this process, I made the idea of God personal & relevant to me.
