Black Jesus Series
Black Jesus disrupts the dominant visual narrative surrounding religious iconography. This series utilizes AI-generated imagery to present a Black Jesus, reclaiming and redefining a figure that has been historically depicted within a narrow, Eurocentric framework. By placing this figure in both modern and classical contexts, the series interrogates the power of visual representation and the ways in which it shapes our understanding of history, spirituality, and identity.
