This photograph draws attention to the lower half and top right of a well-worn religious figure. The molded seam from the top of the head along the arm, chipped edges, and softened ridges speak quietly of time and touch. What once might have been smooth now carries a record of wear, the marks of countless hands, dust, and care. By focusing closely on the figure’s base and side, the image shifts attention away from identity and toward material memory. Each fracture and line becomes evidence of use, of quiet admiration turned visible. The work invites reflection on how faith and form age together.
