Artist about this artwork "The Carrying of the Cross," embodied on a piece of wall using stencil graffiti technique, is a paraphrase of the painting "Shopping" from the "Kiss!" project. This creative representation establishes an interesting interaction between a classic artistic theme and the contemporary subject of consumer culture.
The combination of elements emphasizes the concept of art as a means of expressing relevant socio-cultural issues. This graffiti prompts reflections on eternal values and how modern realities interact with the spiritual aspects of human life.
