PROJECTS
Photography, drawings, & other multi media projects by artist Samara Ash.
IDOLATRY SERIES
10-year series where the artist explored idolatry (extremely adoration for something or someone) as a subject matter.This body of work touched on the history of veneration of objects, ideas, & theories found in Catholicism from the end of the middle ages till the current era.
In this oeuvre, the artist identified visual characteristics of deities, figurine construction, usage of symbolism & highlighted some of the protests that surged from the unscrupulous measures taken by this organization to establish supreme dominion.
These notions are still relevant in the present day as we face constant ideological bombardment from various organizations that seek to keep the masses distracted whilst executing their personal agendas. Many of us are still victims to “false idols” created in order to ensure that we place faith and credibility solely on wealth, consumerism, & status.
