About the Item

A set of two, “Before/after prayer,” set on a canvas with oil, spray paint, and collage. Captured here are two pivotal moments in time, juxtaposed of intimate black and white photographs and bold geometric interventions of vibrant spray paint and collage. The deliberate fragmentation created by horizontal bands of color suggests the interruption of memory, not dissimilar to how prayer and reflection can reshape our understanding of experience. This vintage set remains in excellent condition, preserving the artist's original vision with remarkable clarity. The formal presentation in matching frames with white matting allows the artwork’s powerful contrast between photographic realism and abstract geometric intervention to command. These pieces function both as individual statements and as a cohesive exploration of the transformative power of prayer and reflection in contemporary life.
