has nothing to do with the dramatic lighting. has to do with the mods allowing a user to use an avatar depicting black face, declaring it "art work" and not offensive or racist. so, i chose to use a piece of art work that was deemed not offensive by the supreme court of america, to give them the middle finger for declaring racist imagery "art work"... and i don't search specific keywords on a daily basis... oh, and it is the baby jesus, because it says so in the title of the photograph... description from wikipedia follows...-0
Piss Christ is a controversial photograph by American photographer Andres Serrano.
It depicts a small plastic crucifix submerged in a glass of the artist's urine. The piece was a winner of the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art's "Awards in the Visual Arts" competition,[1] which is sponsored in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, a United States Government agency that offers support and funding for artistic projects.
The piece caused a scandal when it was exhibited in 1989, with detractors, including United States Senators Al D'Amato and Jesse Helms, outraged that Serrano received $15,000 from the taxpayer-funded National Endowment for the Arts for the work. Supporters argue the Piss Christ is an issue of artistic freedom and freedom of speech. The journal Arts & Opinion describes the controversy as "a clash between the interests of artists in freedom of expression on the one hand, and the hurt such works may cause to a section of the community on the other."[2]
