"Shower, 1944" 56 x 44 acrylic/shower-head/canvas

"Shower, 1944" questions the presumed absence of God at the time of the Holocaust. The composition is based on Michaelangelo’s "Creation of Adam", a work which testifies to an age of faith, certain of God’s presence. "Shower, 1944" conveys theological doubt, as two hands reach out to each other, across the gas chamber
