“The Pope” is a work that represents a pope with a disturbing and mysterious appearance. The figure has one eye on the face and another small, reptilian-like eye on the chest. The dark cassock and the triangle with an eye on the back suggest a connection to secret sects, such as the Illuminati Order. The work can be interpreted as a critique of corruption and power within the Catholic Church, or as a representation of the duality between faith and darkness.
