IN POENITENTIA ET PECCATO Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

Holy Week is fervently celebrated in Quito, with the highlight being La Procesión del Jesús del Gran Poder on Good Friday. The procession features numerous significant religious figures, with the Cucurucho standing out as one of the most recognizable. Clad in purple, the Cucurucho symbolizes souls in a state of penitence, seeking redemption for their sins. This references the medieval tradition of public penitence, where individuals publicly atoned for their wrongdoings. In a contemporary twist, I captured the Cucurucho checking his phone, offering a Quitenian humor reference to the irony of the scene. The timing was perfect as helpers watered the Cucurucho's feet. I've infused the artwork with flowers and baroque signs, embodying the quintessential style that depicts the most important religious motifs of Quitenian Art. Additionally, the Latin humoristic reference mirrors the tradition of explaining and signing Quitenian art pieces in previous centuries. This digital artwork will be printed on matte paper, ensuring an immersive experience, accompanied by a special greeting from the artist. It is presented unframed, and while framing is recommended for optimal display, please note that hardware is not included.t included.
