Revered, 2025

A radiant, root-crowned head hovers above four emaciated, humanoid figures who strain to support it like living pillars. The fiery sky amplifies the sense of spiritual intensity and ominous devotion. Revered reflects on the nature of power—how revered figures, ideologies, or myths are often upheld by those compelled to bear their weight. The crowned visage is both divine and monstrous, embodying the dual forces of inspiration and oppression. This is a study of belief systems: how we elevate ideas until they eclipse us, and how the act of worship can transform into a burden that consumes its devotees.
