The Sacred Heart of St. Sebastian Print [framed 18x24"]
Original digital collage on Semi-Gloss Photographic paper (2024)
Ritually consecrated as a devotional piece to St. Sebastian
St. Sebastian, a Roman military officer and Christian martyr, was the patron saint of archers, athletes, and the plague-stricken. Depicted as a lamenting man with his body pierced by many arrows, he became a symbol of Queer resistance and gained a particular cult following among gay men. By the 20th century, his iconography became synonymous with unjust persecution and the erotic desire of the Queer community. The Sacred Heart of St. Sebastian reimagines this sublime saint finding ecstasy in his divine form, celebrating Trans bodies and their blessed essence.
