Description
this is for an art project. the whole series deals with a man whose family member passes away from old age, and how he copes with it by leaning on his faith, until it overwhelms him and he becomes nearly obsessed with religionthis is the cross and card from my grandmother's funeral. she passes away this spring, a few days after my birthday.
but anyway, i used these to set the scene for the rest of the series

Great composition Phil!! I love crosses, and this one is really special, makes me think you wanted to express that God is with us while we're through all this horrible moments and feelings, and that's true

Good crop (especially with the words that are left uncovered - sorrow, suffering, everlasting). Kinda sums up the whole series. Aesthetically, I like the combination of the ornate cross and the graphic black and white of the funeral program.
