Deporting Jesus

The artwork depicts a dramatic and thought-provoking scene where a figure resembling Jesus Christ, characterized by a crown of thorns and a golden halo around his head, is being escorted with hands cuffed behind his back by a law enforcement officer wearing a black shirt labeled "POLICE ICE." The figure of Jesus is draped in a purple cloth, symbolizing his traditional portrayal, while the officer is in modern tactical gear. The backdrop includes iconic American landmarks such as the Washington Monument and the United States Capitol, set against a sky filled with warm, golden clouds. The painting evokes a powerful contrast between spirituality and authority, blending classical religious imagery with contemporary social commentary.
