This view from the hill depicts the view Jesus Christ might have seen. The picture frame is composed from behind the true cross. Although I am an Atheist I cannot denigrate the inexpungible bond of western society and Christianity. As I see it, the symbol of Christ is one Christians are meant to transpose their bodies into. They take his body and blood in communion. There is even an oft used less oft employed prosaism, "What Would Jesus Do?" So in this painting I am putting the viewer up on that hill at Golgotha. I've been looking at too much Anselm Kiefer lately...
