Immunity
Through the fictional characters portrayed in the photo series you see two men who embody the archetype of the cartel member, dripping in gold, seated in an expensive custom vehicle, smoking fine cigars.
On superficial glance one could assume these to be criminal or lawless.
These same men wear jewellery-containing amulets featuring, saints, charms, the crucifix along side being captured in front of and around a church laced with classic catholic iconography.
With this series I wanted to raise some questions and explore the idea of immunity.
Are you able to somehow form immunity to a penalty by forging a solid faith? Can you cancel bad karma from past deeds by doing good in other areas of you life?Was Jesus sacrificial death the ultimate immunity for the human race?
Are we living in a reality of good VS evil or are they partners in a divine plan?
