Artist's Statement
The one symbol that is the most recognized and influential on civilization for the last 2000 years is the Cross. In my series, The Sign of the Cross, I have presented various artistic interpretations of the cross in images where the cross is coupled with a nude. By being devoid of clothing, naked man is symbolically pure and innocent and as such, can absorb the teachings of humanity which is represented by the cross.
