About this work
A Madonna-like figure in the pose of a traditional icon fills the frame, hands raised, wrapped in a dark mantle. Her face is split between the original painted icon and a photographic negative-toned half, set beneath a golden halo overlaid with a faint world map. A red patch bearing a hammer-and-sickle star crosses her chest, while barbed wire and a prisoner number tag cross the lower frame.
Composition merges a Byzantine-style painted icon with photographic collage elements, muted gold and brown tones giving way to a jarring red accent at the chest. Sharp digital edges and torn-paper framing replace smooth brushwork, producing a somber, unsettling mood that fuses religious and political iconography.
