Cleansing the Vatican

"Cleansing the Vatican,"
Digital Artwork 
presents a dramatic and surreal scene. It features a central figure, Joan of Arc, hovering above the Vatican, surrounded by red tones that suggest intensity or purification. The imagery might be interpreted as a commentary on the need for transformation or reform within the Church. The use of color and composition creates a sense of movement and urgency.
 
The artwork offers a powerful narrative by incorporating Joan of Arc, a historical figure who embodies resistance and courage against oppression. Her presence, combined with the symbolism of menstruation, challenges traditional patriarchal views and critiques how women's natural functions have been stigmatized.
 
The imagery of Joan of Arc as a "cork" signifies blocking oppressive forces, while the blood symbolizes the reclaiming of women's power and natural roles. An army of Sheela na Gigs—figures known for symbolizing fertility and the power of femininity—further reinforces the theme of empowerment and resistance.
 
This visual critique serves as a  statement on gender, power, and the need for reform within structures that have historically marginalized women.
 
The artwork expands its narrative by highlighting the non-binary nature of spirituality. It critiques the historical bias toward male empowerment in religious contexts, advocating for a more inclusive and matrifocal approach. 
 
By emphasizing freedom, self-individuation, and spirituality beyond traditional dogma, the piece suggests a return to balance and equality. This vision elevates the role of women and non-binary individuals in spiritual discourse, promoting a society where spiritual expression is free from oppression and open to all.
