Its part of a project that reinterprets philosophies and non-religious concepts using religion-influenced iconography.

Exploring this apparent psychological need to create objects of worship I rendered a series of deities to personify some key philosophical and scientific concepts that fit within the modern paradigm of scepticism and reason.
