Untitled © Gottfried Helnwein (1993)

Best Interpretation: “…It seems to me that the faith of the Subject for her broken and imperfect child/link to God, is what makes this piece so strong (just like the affection a child would have for its one-eyed teddy bear). The choice of rendering in a fifteenth century religious painter style, elevates the fragile quality of life that haunts us in the hint of death. The visceral transience of our fleshy shells is held against the perfection of religious ideals to be interpreted by the atheist and believers alike.” -Duncan Reid

Future © Tomer Hanuka (2006)

Best Interpretation: “The future is here… death, destruction, hunger, poverty….. this is what we were planning and preparing for all along… every safety gadget and tool, to protect us from mother nature’s revenge and to protect us from ourselves…we are prepared and safe… through our bubble headcases and through sealed houses which ensure the safety of our flesh and through our INDIFFERENCE which blind our souls… to all feelings of empathy and compassion.”-Mia

The Artist’s Secrets: “In this all inclusive project for Stanford Medicine Magazine, I had the opportunity to create images for the entire magazine. Given the subject matter, it became a crash course in environmental disasters and the implications on human lives. (…) A cry from a Sick Planet.” -Tomer Hanuka
