Forgive Me Father, Why Should I Bother

This piece explores the quiet tension between tradition and disillusionment. A lone Cardinal, cloaked in the ceremonial red a marking of religious authority, walks a narrow alley flanked by symbols of both faith and commerce. He appears both present and fading—leading the viewer to question not just his surroundings, but the very rituals he represents.

In a world where faith can feel distant or institutionalized, this piece asks: where do we place our need for forgiveness? Is absolution still sacred—or has it become just another window display?

It’s a quiet rebellion, a meditation on belief, doubt, and the uneasy intersection of the spiritual and the modern.
