A Visual Reflection on Faith and Eternity
“Holy Remembrance” sits at the crossroads of mortality and divine promise. I’ve woven together Día de los Muertos influences with Christian symbolism to create something that speaks to cultural tradition and spiritual truth.
The ornate skull imagery isn’t about glorifying death but transforming it—acknowledging its reality while stripping away its finality. Those dripping elements you see? They flow like tears yet cleanse like baptismal waters, carrying both grief and healing in the same visual moment.
What I wanted to capture was that profound Christian paradox—how death becomes a doorway rather than an ending. The patterns aren’t just decorative; they’re deliberate echoes of cathedral windows and sacred geometry, which have guided worshippers through centuries of faith and doubt.
This isn’t artwork that dwells in sorrow. Instead, it leans into hope—that unshakable belief that Christ transforms our endings into beginnings. I created this as a reminder that remembrance itself is a sacred act, not just honoring those we’ve lost but celebrating the eternal connection that faith promises.
When you sit with this piece, I hope it invites you into that contemplative space where loss meets hope, where memory becomes prayer, and where the veil between worlds feels momentarily transparent.
