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.
