Ad Crux


Throughout art history, religious imagery has frequently employed ascent as a symbol of striving toward the divine.

By intertwining climbing with religious imagery, I invite viewers to reflect on how these age-old symbols of aspiration still resonate in contemporary life. The struggle to scale a mountain, to ascend toward a goal, is a universal experience—one that connects us to both the past and the present, reminding us that the climb, in both art and life, is as much about the effort as it is about the destination.
