This piece deals with losing my faith in the dogmatic, fundamental, sometimes radical views of the religion I was brought up in and finding that inner-strength inside me - guiding me - is my own conscience.
Thank you `lockstock for the use of your amazing stock photography. You always inspire.
I really admire your work here, this is a really crisp and clear piece, and it has a real depth to it, especially in what it meant to you and it's symbolism. And I like it even as a man who carries the faith - I think it is quite a tragedy that there are those who bury the truth of it - perhaps even lost the point of a lot of it, really, although sometimes they sincerely believe they are doing good by it.
I would like to say more, but I'm not quite an artist, not just yet, but I honestly find this piece fascinating... Thought-provoking. Well, till then!

Thanks for the invite, but I'm afraid you've missed the point of this piece. It's about atheism, about seeing clearly past the lies and dogma and finding the truth more miraculous than faith.
WOW. I hope I am doing things like this someday. If you are the type who like a real critique (it doesn't say you're asking for one) I would love the chance. Until then I'll just stare at it for a while. : )
never having had 'faith' I sometimes wonder if in that blindness there isnt a certain freedom. I love the piece.. I see a darkness in it.. echos of the past maybe.. and the bright new beginnings.
i was raised catholic and have superstrict catholic family, and it's always hard to deal with their expectations and rejection... but it's so true that whatever free thought is blossoming within you is worth disrupting a repressive peace
