“His Strongest Soldiers” is a photo series that reinterprets catholic iconography through a contemporary lens. Each photograph bridges the gap between the current social landscape and sacred religion by exploring the interiorities of intimacy and divine worship. My practice is rooted in my Catholic upbringing, which exposed me to mystical ideas of transcendence and enlightenment. The project is composed of many images, each addressing the vital pillars of religion – mysticism, divinity, and metaphysics. For the viewer, they present themselves as testaments to each pillar, but for me as their creator, each photograph reveals a deep reflection of personal revelations that could only be discovered outside the church.
