My third, my
last, and certainly my most troubling sculpture in my “Heaven and Hell”
series, is obviously “Hell”. How does one represent Hell? I
don’t believe that an “all-knowing and all-loving” God would ever conceive
of throwing an already tortured soul down into an eternal burning pit of hell fire. Would
any creator ever bestow such a horrifying fate upon his creation no matter what wrong they
had done? To me it would truly be Hell to be locked away alone, away from the sight of
all. Unlike Purgatory with its ever-present exit available, Hell would have no such
release. The soul is chained and locked in its own prison, trapped in a spider web
of its own design. The tortured soul of the damned exists here. |
