"Church" from the William David Serial Killer Collection is a provocative artwork that juxtaposes religious imagery with the notorious legacies of figures like John Wayne Gacy, depicted as the Pope, and Richard Ramirez at the Last Supper. This pIece creates a stark contrast between sacred Christian iconography and the infamous histories of these individuals.
The portrayal of Gacy as the Pope and Ramirez in the context of the Last Supper invites reflection on the profound dissonance between their criminal actions and the sanctity of religious roles. The piece challenges viewers to ponder the complex interplay of sin, redemption, and the often contradictory nature of human morality within the framework of religious symbolism.
