God & Man

"God & Man" is as an exploration of the complex dynamic between divinity and humanity, portrayed through a monoprint diptych. The egg embodies the essence of life and divine benevolence bestowed freely upon humanity by God. However, juxtaposed against this gift is the stark image of a clenched fist, emblematic of man's rebellious and sinful nature, crushing the offering in defiance. This presentation displays ideas within Christian theology, echoing the eternal struggle between the purity of God's grace and the inherent corruption of human desires. The piece encapsulates the profound truth that while God extends the promise of life more abundant and eternal salvation, humanity often veers away, consumed by its own worldly pursuits, ultimately leading to spiritual demise.
