cut, paste & re-escale


The idea behind the first image came from the cover of the latest book by Slavoj Zizek, I think it's an striking one.

I have been thinking recently about Jesus, but not as the institucionalized idea the Church have been exploiting since yester-year, but him as a man. So, it came to me the question, how jesus would look like today if he would be around? And the result was the following one:

Struggle
