Behind the artwork
Botticelli’s "Madonna of the Book"? Cute. Now meet the Madonna of the Scroll, plugged into the relentless hum of the 21st century. The sacred text is now a glowing tablet, the kid hypnotized by its digital siren song, decked out in Mickey Mouse because why the hell not? Our thoroughly modern Madonna, sporting designer shades and "POP ART" headphones, presides over this new world order. Scrawled warnings like "YOUR TIME IS LIMITED DON'T WASTE IT LIVING SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE" aren't gentle suggestions; they're a kick in the ass. This is a raw look at what we worship now – screens, brands, the curated self. It’s a bold, unapologetic challenge: in an age of digital deities and Supreme-branded thrones, what truths are you actually kneeling to?
