Still fascinated with the imagery of Gethsemane after my painting, I revisited the design but less abstract this time.

The dialogue in the Book of Job is fascinating to me - the trope of the righteous man who befalls disaster is even more ancient than the new testament, and was probably passed down in some form via oral tradition. It's a very human thing to do, to muse on our own mortality, relationship with god(s), karma, and our place in life. Something that always struck me when I was younger is how Job's three friends sit and talk with him, lamenting his position, but do nothing to help him. This print begins to explore modern homelessness with this ancient morality tale.
