The ‘Seven Deadliest Sins’ have been an integral part of Western moral philosophy for many centuries. The greatest challenge for me was to formulate a visually radical, contemporary interpretation of these ideas using pure abstraction and intense color to evoke symbolic meaning, human emotions, and spiritual power. With each ‘sin’, I’ve attempted to permeate the subtle barrier that separates the conscious from the unconscious mind. Ultimately, however, everything is left for the viewer to interpret freely.
