The motion poster’s theme questions the presence of a supreme being in times of tragedy. It reinterprets Andres Serrano’s controversial work, ‘Piss Christ,’ which, according to the artist, does not intend to insult Christianity in any form.

"A natural progression" as how he would describe the process of its creation (especially with its name which to some seem more blasphemous than the work). What distinguishes this reinterpretation is the absence of a human figure on the cross. The design, crafted from metallic thorns, evolves through the deformation of the film program’s title typeface, ‘When the Apocalypse Is Over.’

It alludes to my inquiry about God’s presence in tragedies, questioning whether He is merely an observer or an active participant when innocent lives are unjustly taken during events like genocide. Is this even, as what some would come up as a probable cause to any unprecendented event, part of God's plan? I wonder.

This reinterpretation takes the idea of "Piss Christ" on a firm stance, criticizing those who use religion as a justification for violence. This also is rallying cry, that a maybe a higher being can put a stop to the genocide, especially when the powers of the world seem to have no use.
