Category: Collection 10 – Of Faith and Power

– Of Faith and Power –

It is from within us that the faith comes
which we all seek to fill our souls

This collection explores aspects of religion, spiritualism, faith, mythology, and the power that these concepts can hold over us both as individuals and within the construct of society as a whole. Further works note on concepts of marginalization, systemic abuse, and the misuse of power when retained by those who would seek to harm, or to elevate themselves over the disenfranchised among us.
