New Saints 1: New Smile

- Lambda print

A young woman smiling, destined to be a saint in a black world. New Smile is the first in the New Saints series. In these series I tried to combine the idea of a religious painting with the way we have come to look at our future: dark, filled with industrial waste, or maybe we are living on other planets, who knows. What will our saints look like? Will there ever be new saints when we leave our solar system? Or is this an Earth-bound phenomenon?

The idea of having saints in the dark future that might lie ahead could be comforting one, we might really need it. Or maybe the idea is an impossible one, I don't know.
