I found myself in a full all-black African church, with worship songs rising into a space that carried a large painting of a blonde haired blue eyed Jesus Christ, and I couldn't help but wonder - how the hell did we get here?

I created a 3 part body of Art that explores the rituals and implications of Christianity.

Religion has made room for complacent faith. Are we able to take full responsibility of what we believe and why we believe it?
