EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the essence of Mary Magdalene's profound spiritual journey. In this depiction, she is seated in the wilderness, her eyes closed in deep contemplation. Clasped tightly in her hand is a crucifix, symbolizing her unwavering faith and devotion to Christ. Beside her lie significant objects that represent various aspects of her life and transformation. A skull serves as a reminder of mortality and repentance, while an open book signifies knowledge and enlightenment gained through penitence. An ointment canister alludes to Mary's act of anointing Jesus' feet with precious oils as a gesture of love. The presentation style chosen for this artwork is an elegant oval shape, adding a touch of grace to the composition.
