About this artwork
Sculpture in dark terracotta and aged wood, the choice of these materials is dictated by the need to emphasize both physical and moral decay. Image of the afflicted and disconsolate pope. Faith and religions are challenged due to technological progress and materialism. Hence an increasingly marked crisis of values.
