This piece is about the ultimate triumph of Life over death, and Hope over evil. Though it includes the Omega Point Theory --the SuperResurrection-- this notion reaches further, to the Kabbalistic Ein Sof, translated as Endlessness, or maybe this way: Death is swallowed up in Victory.
Technically and aesthetically, I consciously follow Marcel Duchamp, Jasper Johns, and Anselm Keifer in using reproductions or parts of earlier works as elements in newer works. Here, I used digitally-cropped parts of a piece called CrossIed Compass, one called Iscillation, and an untitled pencil drawing as parts for this digital net artwork.
Cf. this earlier work, called Godisms.
