The Garden of Unearthly Delights is a highly detailed, large-scale digital collage which serves as a modern, critical reinterpretation of Hieronymus Bosch's famous Northern Renaissance triptych, The Garden of Earthly Delights. True to the artists overarching artistic focus, the work leverages dense, dark humour to examine and critique contemporary power structures, religious organisations, and capitalist institutions. Following the narrative style of Bosch's original triptych, the digital collage establishes a dense "Wimmelbilder" format (a packed, detailed search-and-find style) that takes the viewer on a chronological, multi-layered journey featuring Political and Pop Culture cameos. The composition repurposes illustrative imagery taken directly from the Jehovah's Witnesses Watchtower publications, subverting their originally pristine, utopian promises into a chaotic and contradictory environment, clashing religious iconography with bizarre, hedonistic, and animalistic behaviors.
