This series addresses ideas about the eternal and the untouchable. It expresses my many uncertainties in regards to religion, morality, and different cultural perceptions of the afterlife, and also calls into question dogmatic theology. The use of absurd realism and allegory in these works interpret these personal reflections so that they can be observed and understood by a wider audience.
