Shawn Edwards- Resurrection

At its heart is the figure of St. Mary of Guadalupe, her hands folded in prayer, standing on roses atop a full moon unzipped to reveal the Eye of Horus. In the background, a hand pierced with a nail creates a poignant counterpoint. To the right, a woman's face levitates alongside a skull-shaped mask and an angel's wing, adding layers of mystery and symbolism. Edwards' work is a rich tapestry of religious and mythological motifs, inviting viewers into a world of introspection and wonder.
