The Resurrection

The Resurrection

Piece six in my HSC body of work. The series in total is called “Ascendancy” which means domination or influincing figure, but also has connotations to the ascention of Mary in Christianity. Basically what i tried to do was to show how humanity’s expression of faith has changed, evolved, or even stayed the same. “The Resurrection” is basically how we would express the resurrection of Christ today – more physically, more as an escape or rejoicement.

    Love the power behind this image, really pushing out of the picture and you can feel the energy. Brilliantly captured. This is my favourite of your work so far.

    I really appreciate that – this was one of the first pieces i did in the series, and has always been my favourite, even if its not as perfected as some of the others. Thank you for the favourite as well ^^ you’re making my day, haha!
